Well, not updated lately so thought I would put down how I’m feeling this time round.
Saw Oncologist on Monday 19/3 and mentioned all side effects including tiredness, steroids not seem to have kicked in as well as usual, no sleep, very emotional and the weariness seemed to go on forever. She wasn’t too bothered until I mentioned I had a sore mouth and tongue for a few days (now gone) which felt like the after effects of going to the dentist. Didn’t think much about it until I told Onco and she was very concerned ??? looked on her computer and said this was NOT a common side effect and went off to seek more advice. There was me thinking this was nothing. Anyway, she came back and said they would reduce my dosage slightly for #4!!!
Had round 4 of chemo (EC) on Wednesday 28/3 was really dreading it as had felt so lousy after number 3. Anyway, apart from some nausea first day everything seems to be working as it should this time and so far, feel fine. I know the steroids will finish tomorrow and will more than likely have a major meltdown again but as I know it is coming can at least try to control it a bit better.
Hope this helps anyone Annie6 maybe?? as we seem to be on the same EC however, I am in front of you so might help.
