Unwell from chemo
This was posted on another blog from @Jenv who is hospital after her 1st chemo and was experiencing breathlessness. Thought Jenv could do with some bc sister support at what must be a scary time. ...

@Jenv Glad to hear you went to Hospital and got to the bottom of things, the ladies are right, there's no way of knowing how you are going to react and if it is normal or not. I think many of us shrug things off and think Ohhh we'll be ok! which is great and what gets us through, but then these things crop up. So communicate everything with your team. My first FEC I was so ill for 10 days, so for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th ones I went straight from infusion to admitted for a few days each time, I was still very ill but managed a little better with being in hospital that few days on a drip as I couldnt even tolerate liquid. Breathlessness was also something I felt right through FEC and Taxol, plus increased hate rate. Thank goodness it all stops when you finish. Hang in there! Nurture you and look after you.
