4) 1st Chemo - EC

Less than one minute read time.

Finally the dreaded day arrived & I headed to the medical day unit for my chemo! I was so nervous but the staff were lovely and helped me stay calm and get through it in one piece! 

I felt a little woozy & tired afterwards but fine.  I felt a little “hungover” the next morning but felt fine as the day wore.  This could be down to the bucket load of anti nausea meds though! I will see how I feel as the days progress but all in all it is not at all as hideous as I was expecting (famous last words!!)

  • I'm glad your first chemo wasn't as bad as you expected. Obviously the anti-nausea pills help wirh the sickness. I had very light chemo as radiotherapy was my main treatment so felt reasonably ok, though went off my food a bit as some things I formally liked either tasted strange or bland. I found the pills for nausea bunged me up a bit, so had to have pills to counteract that!  Everybody reacts differently though, so all the best to you in your treatment.
