Good and bad days ?

Hi, so sorry to hear the chemo is effecting you like this.  Are you able to get out a little to walk?  It always seems contrary to me, but a walk often gives energy rather than taking it.   I guess you’ve spoken to your BCN to see what they suggest.  Sorry, not sure what else to suggest but I am sure there will be others on here with some ideas too. 

Hi Carol

I did docetaxel so don't know carbonation bit what I can tell you os that it is cumulative and unfortunately you will feel weaker for longer in each cycle. At the end I had probably about only 3 good days before the next round. It is really important that you speak to your oncologist about it. They can change dosage etc. 

Sorry I can't be of more help but what I can tell you is that it will pass and you will get through it

Thank you. Because of the NIL strength I tend to hold onto things as I keep thinking I'm going to fall over. So walking is a bit awkward.

I had paclitaxel but not with carboplatin. My friend had the same combination as you and she said the weeks she had carboplatin she felt much worse and it took her ages to recover. 

I saw the nurse today and she said the same. The carboplatin is the culprit. She also said. It could get worse before it gets better. . Hey ho !!  Am sure it'll be OK. I'll get through it.
