I'm starting chemo on Thursday. 23 mm tumour found at a regular mammagram. Still in a whirl after two months of scans and appointments. So shocked that I hadn't felt it.
Thanks.I have a good friend who had identical medication. She is giving me great tips. First one I used was to take the extra sickness medication as soon as I felt a bit off....she left hers a bit late at first.
Try to enjoy your weekend.I feel a lot calmer now.
Still feeling well. Had a meto tablet when I felt a bit gurgly 9pm last night. Slept well.
So far so good . Eating normally....don't usually have lunch but have had light lunch and smaller evening meal.
Dexamethasone has reduced the tiredness but I did nap yesterday after a walk !
Hello im so sorry you have been diagnosed recently, but im glad to hear that your first chemo was not too bad for you. I am onto my last lot of chemo now 2 more to go and i so so cant wait im counting down to that day. Take care and good luck with all your treatment. X
Good luck with your last two....I hope that you have no delays and haven't suffered too much with side effects.
Still feeling well. Gardening being normal. Have finished prescribed tablets now....just have some anti sickness ones left. Start injections tomorrow. Wondering if I will have less energy after dexamethasone wears off.
