Hi I’m new here! I was diagnosed in Oct 21 and have been reading other peoples experiences and my treatment seams different and was wondering if anyone is having the same! I’m on 3 weekly EC AND weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin.
It hasn’t been to bad but my heart rate has increased and when I’m in bed especially it feels like it’s racing. I have reported it and it will be looked into, but tbh lt is worrying me more than the cancer at this moment in time! Also my temp always seems low (35.5, 35.7 etc) Can anyone reassure me please? xx
Hi, I had chemo in the summer, 3 weeks EC followed by 3 weeks something else but I met people on weekly plans. Not sure if that’s much help…
I also found my temperature was 35 sometimes, I had to check my wrist instead of my head or wear a hat to warm up then check it- worked for me but sorry if you’ve already tried both ideas…
I heard lots of different chemo plans when I was going for mine but worth asking breast care nurses if you are concerned - do you have a number to call?
Keep strong! X
