Sleep / Energy / Tiredness
Hi there I've just started work again which is brilliant (two months after surgery) - day 3 today! Yep determined to look after myself and a very supportive workplace. Apart from stuffing up by medication (taking 2 x Dex each day - everyday (not just for two days after chemo) and then Lox for sleep, yep was a mess. Nearly "clean". In bed by 8.00pmish and then like now up at 1.30am. I will go back to bed hopefully for a few hours before getting up around 5.30am. Anybody got any ideas for suitable vitamins (apart from a good diet) and I'm an eating machine at the moment. Minimal coffee. Perks to get through the day and yep one day get a good sleep? I am very productive at this time of the morning, but yep don't really want to be lol xo

Re: What to take to Chemo?
Thanks AllyJay :) Yep looks like it definitely depends on the individual how we react. Fingers crossed I will be lucky and have no nausea. Cheers.

Re: What to take to Chemo?
Thanks Vangirl - I appreciate your honesty. They also found a cyst on my ovaries so off tomorrow for a yucky ultrasound on that and a gated heart scan. Yippee :)

What to take to Chemo?
Hi there I've got my first session next Thursday Doxurubiin, Cyclophosphamide and Pegfilgrastim. I've been told it will be every 14 days for four cycles. Then radio. Apart from eg a book, what else is good / needed / might be good to take to chemo sessions? In a dilemma with work, how did you go with this chemo? Thanks :)
