Second AC, don’t know if I can hack this
had my second AC after almost 2 weeks of feeling pretty normal, now back in the depths of despair, day 6, don’t know how I will get through, feel less than human.

It's not a beautiful Journey but your life is you have family, kids etc.... be proud that you are doing the hard yakka so you can enjoy life again with your family ... you have reached hump day for AC treatment that is good
Hugs and energy

xxx- Thank you all, can’t wait to feel a tiny bit more human soon.

I didn’t think I could continue. I had to have 4 x rounds of the red devil and after my 3rd one I cried and begged my oncologist to skip my last one and continue onto the next weekly paclitaxol. I said I didn’t want it anymore because I was over being sick. She told me just one more and that I could do it. I did it and I’m glad she told me to continue because it would of impacted my chances of beating BC
So so my point is...you can do it ! I know it’s hard and it’s absolutley horrible but there is light at the end of the tunnel and when you finish that last dose, you’re going to feel so proud of yourself.
Hugs xo @Spillsy - @Spillsy, you can do it!!!!! Hang in there - give yourself the best fighting chance for longevity. It's the bloody pits having to line yourself up again when you start to feel better. It's so bloody hard when you know what you're in for. Going done that slippery slope each time is a nightmare. Big big hugs. Xx
- Was thinking of you tonight. Because I know you will keep going. Day 6. A day or 2 and you will feel a bit better again.
You can do this, you are stronger than you believe. Kath x - AC is the worst and everyone will tell you that. I was bedridden for pretty much 5-6 days after each fortnightly infusion.

Hugs xo @Spillsy - if Your ever in town let me know and we can catch up for a coffee, and in a few months when you have your Radiation (if you come to Holman for that) I’ll say hello!
- Thank you, I am having chemo at st Johns, not Hollman, but that would have been nice. Feeling so alone, and can’t really talk to others about this as no one really gets it, do they.
- Stupid thing cut off half my response....
i am in Hobart too, I’m a Radiation Therapist at the Holman Clinic so if you ever need anyone to talk to face to face who knows what your going through feel free to let me know, or if you want a quick visitor during chemo I can pop upstairs on my breaks
