Spoke to Oncologist before i had 3rd chemo made me feel less afraid and discussed the side effects I was having so have had 3rd chemo , and had Nuelasta injection today fingers crossed I can avoid hospital this time and then only one more chemo to go Hooray
I've been posted missing for a while now. I've not had any pain from the injections but felt extremley shakey and nervous which isn't like me. I had my injection on Thursday and felt really anxious on Friday and throughout the weekend. I ended up taking one of my anti nausea tablets that contained a mild sedative and have pretty much slept since Friday. I have a funny tight feeling in my chest even when I'm drinking water but I don't know if thats the steriods.
Don't know if this helps but my onologist recommended I take calcium with combined vitamin d supplement throughout my treatment. Fortunately I haven't had any bone pain.
Yayyyyy final chemo, what a great achievement jenfurgal. The countdown is on. I know you will be apprehensive as you are with every one of your chemo sessions, about the side effects. Hopefully you will get through this one and then start to improve and slowly bounce back.
It is a wonderful milestone to make it through your chemo so I hope you do something nice to celebrate.
Wishing you well and a lot less pain. Lots of love always, Mich xoxoxo
Sorry I took so long to get back to you I did have a strange back pain for a day or so after the injections otherwise no other side effects to speak of. It is hard to know when you are having chemo you feel so bad anyway. I am having my final chemo in 3 days. Not looking forward to that.
Hi Gilliann It is day 9 after 3rd chemo and it has been really rough with the yukky chemo symptons but have managed to avoid hospital so far which is great. If I can do it on the last one that wuld be great.
then I have to start 6 weeks radiation and have beeen told that it is not very pleasant either, cant be worse than chemo can it?????
lol made me laugh thanks

Take very good care of yourself and chat back soon.
Lots of love always, Mich xoxoxoxo
Yes we do seem to have a lot in common except you live near the sea lucky you. I am feeling ok at the moment and hope that I dont have to go to hospital again this time although when you are feeling really sick it is the best place to be, Thanks for replying it is good to talk to someone about how you are feeling.
Hey Jen
You are the same age as me and my kids are also grown, married and produced three precious grandchildren so far so we have a bit in common. I have two lil girl grandees and one little boy grandee. They keep us going every day don't they.
Congrats on 3 down. I hope the Neulasta does the trick and keeps you out of hospital. Fingers crossed.
Lots of love always, Mich xoxoxoox
