TC Chemotherapy

Your timing for the lower back and hips is the same as mine. I noticed after my fourth and last that for a number of weeks afterwards my quadriceps were killers. I could hardly walk up inclines or stairs without stopping. It was as if my muscles in my upper legs were being wrung out. Gradually I noticed week by week how much further I could walk and finally run up the stairs. Yay. I no longer have a problem with them, but yes that darn lower back ache is a bugger. Hope you have got someone who can massage it for you as it helps. Plus a hot water bottle or wheat bag. 

Living life on the edge @Finch!

Thanks @kmakm , I say bring it on, I'm feeling pretty good tonight and strong, ready for number 3. Not sure I should have had 2 glasses of red with my steroids this evening and I guess not much sleep expected tonight. All the best to you @"Kiwi Angel" xx

@kmakm - I’m actually generally pessimistic cause that way u don’t get disappointed. When the going gets tough though I just tend to focus on the end goal. 

@"Kiwi Angel" Glass three quarter's full kinda woman!

Thanks @kmakm. I just keep thinking after I get through this it’s just one more xoxoxo

@Finch @"Kiwi Angel" Thinking of you two lovelies this evening. Good luck tomorrow. I hope Cycle 3 treats you well  :) <3 :*  K xox

@finch I just dream about food! what i will appreciate & eat when this over  :D 
I forced myself to eat a boiled egg on white bread this afternoon - note to self remember the gastrostop!!! not pretty and I cannot stand the way I smell. I wonder if i should try something stronger even if I don't enjoy it? Just know the weight is dropping off atm and I need to slow it down.
stemetil works for me as its  nausea/diarrhoea not the vomiting but how many gastrostop can you have in a day? - I'm going to take out shares lol
and i have a box of choccies in the cupboard that i haven;t touched - that is INCREDIBLE knowing my usual behaviour - the word pig springs to mind....
my dear daughter has gone to buy the fresh pineapple avos lemon and udon noodles (from my fav japanese restaurant) and i will report back on my success :-)
one thing i can count on is this supportive crew and knowing all made it through -this day/week will bloody pass!!!

@jewel-ee I'm sorry to hear you're having problems eating in your first week .  I hope it's settling for you now. What anti-nausea have you been taking?
I seem to have an even  stronger sweet tooth than normal and hunt down anything sweet in the house.  I have chocolates hidden away for special and I pray I don't go in for the attack on those.  

@"Kiwi Angel" It did for me!
