Had chemo number 5 on Thursday 2nd. What a difference from when I had Tax. Now I'm back on Fec, I feel so much happier. I'm not saying I won't have some side effects, but at least I know what they are an how to deal with them. Also, having made the decision NOT to have radiotherapy, that has made me feel more relaxed to. I confirmed it with the oncology staff yesterday, and the radiologist was a bit relieved that I had said no as she was quite concerned about my lungs.
Feeling pretty good today, hope that continues. The warmer weather is helping too.
I am feeling great today. Swollen feet and ankles all gone, cough gone too. Must have been that awful Docetaxel. No bad side effects yet, which is good, because tomorrow we are supposed to be going to the Garden Centre with son and DIL. We were supposed to go the week I took ill and ended up neutropenic in hospital. Hope that's not a bad omen!
Filgastrim injections start tomorrow, I won't have it until we get home. Don't want any unneccessary aches and pains while walking around. I have been taking Ibuprofen 400 as my back gets pretty bad after a while, so hopefully they will keep post injection pains at bay too.
