Calm before the storm
Hi all, We have our first dose-dense AC treatment this Friday for Rebecca and while we're really glad to have some sense of momentum and control now with the treatment plan, I'm trying to get organ...
@byo_boy sounds like you two are well on your journey and Rebecca congrats with the first one down. My experience has shown side effects can change and evolve so it isn’t a failure if something does crop up - the chemo is just doing its job as it’s meant to break things down - we are all so different. I like that you have good planning and that no doubt helps in looking after Rebecca. While on the AC ( you’ll work out when Rebecca is feeling ok) I would highly recommend a weekend away or get out and about in that second or last week. It makes the world of difference with a different view from home - even if you just lay around, heal and is good for the relationship. I have found it is a bit harder to get the time, energy and it’s chilly at the moment moving through the weekly Taxols - no weekends away but some little day trips, like the French Festival break it up - so it’s not all about the medical because that’s how it sometimes feels. Good luck.
