1st chemo cycle
Hi All,
This is my first post to an online group but I have been reading others posts as I navigate this roller coaster.
This is my second experience with the disease that we all share.
The first was in 2008 on my first breast screen ever! Very small ,lumpectomy and radio, as nodes clear.
This year with my annual screening a new tumour in the other side but HER2 pos, so lumpectomy, chemo x4 ,radio and 3 weekly Herceptin for a year.
The side effects of the Docetaxal vary every day but the worst is the complete stripping of my gut lining, so now on Xylocaine viscous and Nexium which is helping.
I am debating about weekly doses at smaller amounts but this will prolong the course. Anyone else done this?
Has anyone else experienced this pain? It feels like I have swallowed a packet of razor blades and I have reflux anyway,
Thank you all for your time and best wishes for Xmas
Angela
