Caelyx for the first time

Less than one minute read time.

Well since last time l blogged l have started chemo last month. with Caelyx you have it once a month.

I didn't have the feeling sick as much with this chemo which was good. Just went tired as usual. My Mouth has been a bit sore this time.  But l have not really started on the side effects yet. I am likely to have hand and foot syndrum, eg sore hands and feet. this is likely to happen after the next chemo which is on wednesday the 9th.

what l found hardest was that in the second week l got so very depressed. I do have depression but that is usually under control. But for three days l felt so dreadful l didn't know what to do with myself at all. I am hoping that it won't be so bad this time.

    hi rosiebird

    dont know if you remember me, we chatted for a while the other evening.

    i just wanted to say that i think you are very brave and you deserve to not have things so bad this time. you mentioned you were thinking of having a macmillan nurse.i think that would be a great idea for you - someone to talk to who can visit you regularly too.

    do you go out much? hobbies?

    would like to help if i can.
