Hi All
I'm lying in bed and can't sleep. I start Chemo treatment tomorrow. Docetaxil and Phesgo, with three days of steroids.
Up till now I've had tests, tests & more tests. Nurses have been great, but the doctors not so much.
I've been told I'll start on a 50% dose of docetaxil. If this doesn't work for me there is very little margin to adjust, with no other options.
I started writing war & peace here, but I deleted it. I'm not ready to share. There is so much going on and very little practical medical help locally. I need an holistic approach not a 'this is not my area, so I can't help' attitude. Is losing weight regime a good idea during chemo?
Frustrated and angry!
Going into battle tomorrow
Current status: Cancer-1; Me -0 (but not for long!)

Hi All
Day 2 Status....
Woke up this morning feeling a little tired, dry mouth, a little sensitive smell and taste, but managed to get through the day.
Energy levels fluctuated slightly but took a break for 10-15mins. Drank plenty of water. Hitting my 3.5 Ltrs. On the bike 10mins around six and cooked dinner. Had to take a break before I ate it as I wasn't sure I wouldn't throw up. 
but I got there in the end.
The only downer is the skin & nail care morning, noon and night. Not my normal routine.
I'm hoping tomorrow will stay the same! 
Hope you all had a good day.
Love Sledge
