Introducing myself

I hear your roar.

I'm feeling pretty broken myself right now so unfortunately I don't have any philosophical words of advice on offer but I just wanted to say I hear you and you aren't alone. I hope that helps a little and I hope you will feel able to celebrate your birthday soon.

I'm sending you a very big virtual hug.

Belated happy birthday, so sorry it was spoiled by side effects. I switched to Docetaxol for cycles 5/8, had cycle 5 on 13th May, cycle 6 due this Thurs.

I felt pretty dreadful for about 7 days after, aches, pains, then red/burning hands and feet but it did ease a lot by about day 10. Feeling great today and trying to forget the imminent next one, think sunshine helps too. 

Hang in there, it should get a bit easier. I’m keeping myself going with the reminder that I only have 3 to go, 2 after this Thursday. I think I got away lightly with my first 4 cycles of EC so I’m also grateful not to have felt s**t from the start!! 

Hoping you feel more like yourself really soon xx

Sorry to hear that your birthday was spoiled by side effects.  Hopefully you will feel better soon.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
