EC chemo and nausea and fatigue

Hi, I am finding brain fog awful too. I try to work a little when I can and find myself really struggling to concentrate. 

It is so positive to hear the positive thoughts from all who have responded. Thank you  

Hi, I'm currently on paclitaxel and carboplatin weekly with immunotherapy 3 weekly and have had it over 12 weeks. On the whole I've found it totally managable symptoms have been minimal. I've had alot of weight gain but appetite has been healthy and most probably helped with fighting infections and avoiding hospital stays. I do take the sickness tablets before I move out of bed and drink plenty of water the first 3 days after treatment.  Walking has helped with aches and pains. 

I'm moving on to EC for 4 cycles every 3 weeks and I'm very worried...so it looks like we are vise versa! 

Good luck. ️ 

Thank you for letting me know how you have cooed with paxitaxcel. I do hope I have not worried you too much about EC. Everyone is different and hopefully you will not have any problems. 

The first lit of anti sickness I was given gave me extreme headaches so that was stopped and after that the headaches were less but sickness got worse along with fatigue. My EC was 2 weekly so not long to recover between cycles.

Hope all goes well for you

Hi  

had my first EC chemo today!

 Felt dodgy from the outset and can’t stop the sickness! I’ve already ran to the loo 4 times!

Hope it doesn’t last too long

Hi Jax007

Sorry to hear that you are feeling so sick after your first EC chemo today.  If it doesn't stop soon ring the emergency number you would have been given before chemo started and they'll be able to do something for you.

Hope you feel better soon.

I feel for you. It is horrible but I agree with Daisy53 you need to call the emergency helpline as they tried several different anti sickness meds with me. 

Hope you feel better soon  x

When I had my first dose and was sick, I called the emergency advice line and they said that it is very important not to be sick rather than accepting that it is an inevitable side-effect. They gave advice about medication and coping with it. So what I am trying to say is, as others have said, please ring for advice rather than put up with it. X

Thanks for everyone’s replies. After having taken more anti sickness tablets, it had settled thank goodness!!!

 Temperature is normal which is good x
