I know what you mean about chilly scalp. I can't wait for it to grow back. Although picked up my wig last week and it is exactly like my own hair, was good to see my old self in the mirror again.
That's so good about you having your last chemo, best of luck.
That's my 1st Easter Egg gone. I will wonder when they weigh me on Tuesday before my chemo why I will have put on weight. Lol.
Enjoy your eggs. Take care xxx
Hi Seaside
You seem to be on the same plan as me, EC followed by Docetexal and Pertuzumab, but now they've increased the EC to 4 cycles, but I've had a picc line since after y first one. I guess everyone and every hospital is different.
Hope all goes well with your next cycle.
Happy Easter
I've had a lovely Easter weekend, thank you Seaside. Have you? I managed to see my grandson son and daughter-in-law yesterday. It was so lovely to see them ️
I'm all set now for my chemo on Tuesday too. I hope you're MRI goes well and you are able to go ahead with the planned chemo xxx
Yesterday I made a cake by last night half was gone, today its all gone lol I need to bake more I think as I found it relaxing.
Today is a good day, managed to get the grass cut in the back garden albeit my chemo are arm started aching after 5 mins but plowed through it and then my two youngest enjoyed their Easter egg hunt bless them, was nice to hear the excitment in the voices and their giggles while playing in the garden. It's great to have nice weather for a change.
Went to my mums for dinner which was nice, a change of scenery always does good.
Meant to have a pcr tomorrow ready for Thursday but the car battery is flat, did the whole jump starting it but it's no good, it isn't holding charge, so will have to ring them and explain as we can't get a new battery fitted till Wednesday and not sure if it'll be too late to have a pcr done then as it's meant to be 3 days before treatment, so pretty miffed about that tbh, can't get a lift as the people I trust are either working or away.
I hope everybody has had a fabulous Easter weekend xx
So envious, Chocolate ! After treatment I always suffer with heartburn but the docatexal seems to have given me indigestion as well Oh Joy.. Still I can look forward to my eggs in the week..
Only a month until your last treatment, That's fab ! My last treatment is the 27th May, not that I'm counting..
Hi Seaside
My treatment was 3 FEC and am now on 3 Docatexal. Along with that I have started injections of Phesgo (Pertuzumab & Trastuzumab) every 3 weeks for 18 cycles. They are in the leg and it was fine. Took about 5 mins.
Glad you're doing ok and enjoying your chocolate
Hi Thumper, Looks like we're on the same plan too although I had FEC first.
I've just started Docatexal and injection. . So far all ok, a bit tired. Normal ! and indigestion & heartburn..
I had a picc line but now I'm only having a bag I've had it removed.. Got in the way of my Crochet and that's what's keeping me sane.. ( Although my husband would question me being sane )
