Chemo No. 3

This is the picture of the big event of hair loss, followed by a scalp infection that meant I havent been able to cover up either!  Am going to chemo No 3 tomorrow, yuck, not looking forward to it, but hey, what choice do we have!

  • The nausea, but not actually being sick and the wrotten taste in your mouth!  This time Im adding the Pramin and the Lorazepam for night as I need them.  Thank god Im not throwing up.  

    Apparently Taxotere isnt so bad?????

  • Hi bel, i have been trying to message you but am having problems. Hope this works. Sorry to hear about your scalp n hope it clears up. I had my 2nd taxol today and if anything like the first i am happy.  I found i had no allergic reaction thank goodness and no nausea at all. Plenty of energy, but horrible mouth. I am still hating the no hair bit and my eyelashes have almost nearly gone. I am still eating well and have put on about 2kg since i found out about the whole BC thing. The first 4 cycles of EC were pretty bad and took about 7 days to get over so i am finding the taxol really good so far. Touch wood.  I am having quite a few hot flushes now though which i can  handle so far. Cheers Tracey

  • Hey Bell

    That is so true sweety, we don't have choices, we have to be strong when needed, we have to accept what is dealt to us and meet it head on and we have to fight for what we have to live for and I know you will do all of this because your folks have left you with the strength to carry on..

    I hope you have got over your infection and are ready to take whatever the next session throws your way. I will keep everything crossed it all goes well for you.

    I am wishing you a good run with no major problems. You have had your mum and dad there to help you get through for a part of your journey but I know you will be strong and make it through this one.

    Love and hugs to you and your hubby at such a rough time. Good luck precious.

    Mich xoxo
