3rd AC.... Not handling it!!!
Ok had my 3rd AC chemo on Wednesday 20th Jan.... all going ok accept for the yukky metal taste in mouth but today I just can't seem to get up from bed.... I try to move around and I can't, is this no...
Hi Chriss - hang on in there, I've just had the last of my 4 AC's on 5th Jan, and the fatigue and dizzy effects and aches (latter of which I think are more to do my lymphatic system having a slight meltdown) have taken longer to get over each run (weirdly though the nausea and loss of taste seemed to ease up more quickly - or hey, maybe you just get used to those after a while). I certainly had more naps with this last dose, and 2 weeks later have still felt tired mid day .. but am taking walks or doing the pilates video to try to kick myself out of the snooze pattern. I have my first run of the 12 weeks of the taxol next week - so am really hoping the AC was the worst of it (seems to be the common feedback that it is the nastier of the drugs - so here's hoping).... just keep counting down, if its only one more to go then you're already 75% done with AC .. and only one more to go, you'll get there and have a big grin on your face as you walk out of that last AC session - I sure did! Keep strong and rest up - sending positive thoughts to you.
