Well hello again :-) thought i would give you all an update as i aint been on here in a while.... Im so pleased to say that i do still have a full head of hair after finishing the scalp cooling while having epirubicin, i did however on my last epi loose most of my eyelashes. I found this a bit upsetting but to be honest just using top liner made them not to obvious.
My first round of cmf went rather to well and i moved house the very next day after treatment... day 8 of cmf though was a different matter as i have to have my gcsf injections then, does anybody else have these as im now in such pain when the injections start kicking in, for hours i can sometimes almost be struggling to breathe as the pain in my back, ribs, hips and knees is so bad!!! The constipation soon cleared up though and i ended up going the other way!! All of this has been discussed with oncology and they have decided to reduce the F part of the cmf down to 50%.
Im currently on day 10 of my 2nd round of cmf so i started my injections again yesterday and im just hoping that im not in so much pain this time, the tiredness isn't as bad on the cmf but i do find that it tends to drag and im getting really fed up with it all now, especially when its a half an hour walk to take my kids to school
Hope your all well,
Emma :-) xxx
