Hi, all well had my first cycle of TAX today and apart from feeling very nervous and worried which kept making my BP go up and down it wasn't too bad thank god. But why do they have to worry you about what reactions you can have while having the treatment, such as chest pains, shortness of breadth etc then say they have a doctor on call if I experience any of these symptoms, does nothing to alleviate the nervous feeling lol. Was tired when I got back and slept for a few hours. Felt a bit queasy but the Emend seems to be working again. Got to be well for at least a few more days as tomorrow my football team play Man U at home so I have to be there to cheer on the Wolves what ever the out come If I am unwell it better be after lol.
Hot sweats are still doing my head in and still feel like my head is going to melt. But think I'd rather have these than have my monthlies which I hated.
I hope that the next three cycles are not too bad then I will be free from chemo hopefully I can hold out till then.
Love and Hugs to you all Amanda xx
