from the activity board... Jenv feeling weird....

@Jenv asked:

Does anyone feel weird, or felt weird pre chemo?....since w'end have felt just really strange like body wants to go to shut down mode...waiting one more week to start chemo.  Its like when you get low blood sugar and you feel like you going to drop.  Anxiety maybe, exacerbated by the breathlessness...fine if I'm just sitting (lucky i like knitting, reading and crosswords) soon as move and get active struggle to breath...but the weird stuff..ummm don't know.

 Light headed, cant cough, cannot bring up phlegm (yuck anyway, told thats normal for someone with mets in lung (cloudy/fluffy lung), metallic taste in mouth, coated tongue...tnought i coul eve taste pus...maybe an infection...actually took cold n flu tabs yesterday and felt heaps better.
Eating, drinking and going to toilet as normal.
Maybe i should ring oncologist and see what he says
chemotherapy
side-effects

      @Jenv I can see your posts here in the wee hours! Don't know how I can cheer you up, maybe a dumb joke! nup! You are so right in this post here the wonderful people that are our Breast Care nurses. I do hope you're a little better by the time the 10th comes around for chemo. If you're up for it post in the forum area and others will come on and talk you through and share. http://onlinenetwork.bcna.org.au/discussions Take care
