TC Chemotherapy
Had Round 3 of TC chemo on Monday morning. Bone aches arrived like clockwork on Thursday night, but now on Friday, I seem to have lower back pain and hip pain for the first time as well. Is this norma...
Well i'm officially done - no more chemo!!!
Because of my very good Ki67 results my oncologist left the decision to complete the last cycle up to me.
I decided my body wasn't going to cope well with the last cycle - a wt loss of 10kgs down to a bmi of 21 has left me weak and exhausted. I'm just hoping that the side effects will resolve as quickly as possible (esp fatigue - 2 weeks in bed this last cycle). Keen to hear from others about how long it takes with the side effects. I hope to be back at work in 3 weeks.
cheers @Zoffiel the clarantyne worked for me - no bone pain and I believe may have assisted with general aches and pains (took much less panadol this round). thanks for the info.
Interesting information at a conference on chemo an breast cancer: http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/healthreport/women-with-early-stage-breast-cancer-may-not-need-chemotherapy/9831838
