I couldn't believe there was so many treatment, how do the Dr decided which ones to do. I was so worried how I was going to go with my first treatment. My fear were right and now I know to trust myself. I didn't feel well at all 3 days after my first round by day 9 I was so ill, that I woke my hubby up at 4 am and said take me to hospital. I was put in for nearly a week. I went neutropenic. The Dr keeped asking of I had the needle the next day, which I did, the day clinic did it. So no wonder I felt bad , no white or red cell in my system and I had an infection somewhere. Not hard when everyone I tried to stay away from had the flu. So trying to get myself all pumped to go and do round 2. I was ready to say no more, dont care. But I know I have to do it. Dr said they will reduce my strenght. So fingers cross. Still no port put in so I wonder how mant times to be jabbed this time. It took 3 Dr and 5 times to get blood the other day. Sorry for my rant and thank you for all being there. Hope you are all doing great and hope you treatments are getting better. xx
