DC chemo reaction change to AC
Hi wanting to know if anyone had a bad reaction to their first chemo. Within 5 minutes so much so that they stopped the infusion and are changing my regime to AC. I can’t seem to find much about the differences between the two and hoping some bright person on here may know. It has really thrown me for a loop mentally as I was all prepared maybe a little too much research but that is how I roll. Now I just feel a little lost.
Menopause
I apologize in advance for this post. Firstly, I was diagnosed with grade 3 invasive breast cancer (her2+. er+) in Nov 2013. Had lumpectomy, chemo, radiation, then ovaries out in Sept 14. Since then, my life is hell. I can't sleep, I sweat profusely ALL the time (every 15 mins or so I get the hot flushes), I don't want to leave the house, I don't want to talk to anyone, have no patience with anyone, I cry alot and in general just have this horrible feeling in my gut all the time. I feel that I can't talk to anyone, as they all think I'm fine, treatment is finished, what am I complaining about? In comparison to how I am feeling now, treatment was a breeze. I tell myself "pull yourself together, there are people out there in worse situations", but I just can't get out of this funk. A couple of friends have slowly been distancing themselves from me, I think maybe they're sick of hearing about it a year and a bit down the track. Anyway, big apologies, I just need to get this stuff of my chest before I go completely insane. I don't expect any sympathy from anyone, just understanding.
