Feeling overwhelmed

Might have to move to bath!

I also have these weird electric shock sensations in my spine like the nerves and also my chest that happens after I’ve moved around and then stopped. Really worries me but I’ve mentioned it loads and they just say must be side effect and not to worry it will pass. Stresses me out though!

That must be horrible. There seems to be so many side effects to these treatments. No wonder it stresses you out. Hope you feel a bit better today x

It’s worse today and makes me not want to move as I know when I stop it will start!

lookingbat my diary from last time it seemed to last a few days last time.

i did also get them with paclataxil but its way worse with EC! 

Hope you have a lovely day! X

I thunk you should phone the 24/7 line or your bcn.  Even if it’s just for reassurance x

I’ve messaged my BCN but I’ve told them before including when I was in hospital and when I go for infusions and they just say try and forget about it?! Unless I get new symptoms like paralysis etc x

Jesus that doesn’t seem right , you poor thing. How about phoning the nurses on here or breast cancer now team? 

It seems to have settled so will monitor and maybe call the MacMillan nurses if gets worse again, didn’t think of that. Thanks!

any tips on dealing with emotional side?! Struggling again today but think just got to ride it out. There is no quick fix x

Hi there I had my oncologist appt and we’re gong ahead with EC number 3 but on a reduced dose and they’re staggering my steroids. The emotional side is hard, I use a journal and also phone breast cancer now support line. I also find I have to distract myself like do gardening, go for a walk even around the garden. When I’m stronger, I sometimes go for a nice drive it breaks down the emotional side x
