Hi all, well after feeling so scared leading up to my first cycle of FEC I haven't done too bad. Apart from the first few days of feeling tired, sick, constipated and suffering from lots of acid indigestion i haven't had to many side affects. Had to have movicol and lactulose for the constipation and zantac for the acid which has helped a lot. Last Thursday I phoned my chemo nurse and explained that I was having pains…

She gave me a DVD for me to watch about the chemo process, I put it on and turned it off straight away…
Got my exemption card from prescription charges this week. I thought ok its 5 years not a very long time it will be over before I know it. I then began to think about 2014 and I realised that my husband will be 50, I'll be 49, my eldest will be 24 and the youngest will be 16.
