well its day 6 after my chemo last Friday and I have to be honest its been the wrost 6 days of my life, spend the frist night in A&E with palpatations, and dizziness, which has never subsided, i have called everyone i know and they just seem to be interested that i am so dizzy i cant even make it to the toielt - demaned a GP appt today who took me off the metoclopizade and put me instead on a higer does of stemetil. he also said to take the steroids for a while longer, but i am not takign them.
the worst thing is the pain, in my arms, legs etc, feel like i have had a fall but i havent, doc says my gp is normal at 118/80 and temp is fine at 36.6 but i feel awful!!! and am fed up with this! am going to chat with my oncologist on Monday about not having chemo, my histology report said they had all the lump, no spread to the nodes and alhough there was vascular spread it hadnt spread out of itself. so i a thinking of skipping straight to radiotherapy then next year a bi-lateral mastectomy.
i will need to lose all my weight and watch what i eat and get exercise!!! my arm (left one) is constnatly asleep, event though i do loads of exercises
i feel a victim, who cant go out, cant even walk to the toilet at the mo cos i feel so crap! sorry to whinge, i htink thats all i do at the mo is whinge!! and it scares me how rough i feel - any posts would be helpful thanks
i have TNBC breast cancer - not hormone responsive
