So I am on Heparin and I get to inject myself every day for the next however long. Days 8 and 9 I have really been recovering from hospital, haven't really been with it, but I don't think that's the chemo. I am also very annoyed that I have a blood clot added to my list of what's wrong with me. Grrrr. But days 8 and 9 have been fine, the girls have been at nursery and holiday club so I have really had a good chance to relax and recuperate.

HI xaulleo, I love reading your blogs about your chemo. I go for my second FEC on Tuesday, up to yet I have not been too bad, and I hope my second goes better than yours.

I think the worst part for me was when my hair fell out, even though I knew it was going to happen it still upset me loads, Mad what.

I also found my scalp is so painful, have you found that or is it just me.

Take care and good luck XX

Hi Janet. Yes, my scalp is very sore, as if the hair is pulling it. It's been sore since about 3-4 days before it started falling out as well! I am wondering about putting something on it as it's quite dry and I wonder if that doesn't help. Will probably do a search after the weekend when I have a bit more time, to see if there is anything that can help alleviate it all!
