tac 1st treatment

Pip I finished 6x TAC on Dec 22nd (really screwed up xmas) I suffered with bad reflux after the first one & went back to the chemo ward & saw the doc & he put me onto nexium & I stayed on it right the way through until just a week or so ago. The nexium didn't quite cut it though so I also had pariet to take starting the day before chemo for about a week to ten days while my stomach was really bad. The other thing I found that helped was eating custard sometimes, & porridge or semolina, but my saving grace was potatoes !  No-one could tell me why it helped ...possibly because they are dense or starchy ?? I would have them microwaved in the jacket & then  a little grated cheese. Sometimes when I could handle it I would add baked beans. It sounds gross when I think about it but it worked. I never had any cravings through three pregnancies but I'm sure chemo made up for it. My GP said ...."I will never say this again but eat what you like while you have chemo !! "  I stayed on the medication till I felt brave enough to come off & kept some in reserve in case I needed them. Do you have neulasta injection the day after your chemo ? could this have something to do with you back pain......I had terrible pain in the hips & legs from it. Talk to your doctor, they will be able to give you something. Good Luck with it all. It will be over soon & the benefit outweighs the side effects. Carmel
