Round one of chemo over!
Just had my first round of TCH chemo yesterday and it was not nearly as difficult as I'd expected. Actually, having a chat with a few girls at a Look Good Feel Better seminar on Wednesday really helped me to be in a positive frame of mind for it. They were only a few days post chemo and were doing really well. Fantastic program by the way. Especially loved learning about different ways to use scarves and extra bling to personalise your look!
Back to chemo. Although the entire day took over 6 hours, I was lucky not to suffer any adverse reactions during the chemo. The next time should only take 3 hours I'm told. The nurses at Ringwood Private were wonderful and gave me lots of information to combat any side effects that I might have. Speaking of side effects, the only thing so far is dry mouth (Biotene Dry Mouthwash helps), stomach pain (Mylanta) and trouble sleeping. I'm sure that there will be more to come, but am thankful for the wonderful anti-nausea medicine that I received during the chemo infusion.
One day at a time!!!
