I actually though I had got away with it. For the first 8 days after having my first cycle of chemo I was sailing through it and then it happened...........I hit the wall full in the face and went down like the preverbial bag.
This resulted in having to call the doctor out on Tuesday last week and 3 insuccessful attempts by him to take blood using the same needle each time, then deciding to give a broad spectrum anti biotic as temperature was fluctuating and possible underlying infection, then hospital on Wed due to temp over 38 degrees and 4 and a half hours spent there (I have to say they were brillliant) then feeling lousy like I have never felt before made me realise I had not got away with it. Hair started to fall out yesterday and now hurts like it does when we girles wear our hair up too long, but at least I dont feel as rough which is just as well as my next cycle is due next Monday.
Hope you are all ok out there.
take care love Terri xxx
ps. does cold feet and hands come in partership with chemo
