Hello,
I’ve just joined. 44 year old, , currently going through chemo for stage 2 breast cancer x
Hi,
the first couple of weeks did feel sick, dizzy and light headed. I go weekly, had number 7 yesterday and feel good, have for the last couple of weeks. Do have aches in my bones and pains but no sickness touch wood. Have the cold cap and pleased to say my head hair is still there but does make staying in the ward longer.. how are you? X
Great that you have had a good couple of weeks.
I go every 21 days and have just has 2 of 8 so early days for me. I’ve got my head above water, but it is very challenging - the different meds to take at home leading to either constipation or diahhorea, nausea and extreme fatigue, but manageable with good support at home.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
