My body had a few weeks to relax …but who knows what tomorrow holds for me I could feel really rubbish  who knows … but I will go with how I feel at the moment and embrace it…..  speak tomorrow loads of love xxxx

Glad it all went ok..it is a long old day....it use to go quite quick for me as im so nosey...!..its so good to be able to talk to such a supportive group of people...xxx

Yeah such a long day but like I say it’s another one done , yeah I’m pretty nosey too was chatting to a nice lady next to me for a while on and off … so tiring doing nothing thou don’t feel too bad today but tired got bright red face obviously a reaction hope it goes down tomorrow .. completely diffent chemo to E/C .. no steroids today or anything just my normal meds I take .. just resting on the bed watching a old war black and white film … I’ve hoovered done the washing done lunch for tony to take and pottered around now need to rest how’s things been with you I hope your ok xxx

Hey Pollyperk! I also had a bright red face the day afterwards! Oncologist said it was a “steroid flush”. It did die down by the end of the day. How are you otherwise? Any aches? Did you go home with injections?  I feel better today (day 5 after chemo). Managed a lot more but my weekend was a right-off! Still got a bit of an upset stomach and horrible metallic taste in my mouth but overall I’d say this is a bit easier than the EC.  I’m seeing Oncologist this evening and will ask more about the red face! Hope you are ok xxxx

Hi yeah I strangely feel ok, it maybe because I had steroids and piriton Friday and another lot yesterday so maybe tomorrow I will probaly feel it , yeah got filgrastin injections they start tomorrow I’m letting district nurse do them it’s good to check in with them if I have a question they can answer … I’ve no weird taste yet I was constipated yesterday really bad they gave me something in the unit to take which worked when I returned home thank goodness glad your ok no aches yet but waiting for things to start … Hope you get on ok at your appointment let me know how it goes xxx

Appointment was good, just discussed the side effects that I had.  I take one filgrastin injection 24 hours after chemo. They reckon my bones and muscle aches may be related to that. Who knows?! All I know is that I feel better again this morning. This is defo easier than the EC for me.  My sister is flying down from Scotland today and staying for a week. I’m so happy about this! Husband and son are going away for the week so will have some wuality time with sis.  Be even better if I continue to feel ok.

How is Tony getting on? Any news about when he will have the biopsy done? 
Hope today is another good day for you lovely xxx

Hi that’s great news your sister is arriving today have lots of quality time with each other , your feel heaps better having her close to you and the fact your feeling much better is already a bonus , Tony’s got consultation on the 29th with the plastic surgeon, I feel sick for him poor sod keeping everyone together and now he’s got this , don’t feel too bad I have got bad constipation again it’s agony , taken lactose but that takes a age to work , aparently the chemo nurse says it’s the sickness pill they give with the chemo meds so I need to be mindful for the next chemo … have a loverly time with your sister big hugs xxxx

Hi did you take anything for your bone and muscle aches mine have started today and I’ve not even had my fragrastin yet until later xxx
