Currently on my second cycle of EC. Did anyone else suffer from feeling like you were completely out of body and off your head?! My chemo nurses have said they haven’t seen anyone experience it badly before. I was unwell on the first cycle and they have said if I’m badly affected again they won’t do the third EC before moving onto paclitaxel. Would love some reassurance as to whether this is a normal occurrence as skipping the next cycle would be a big decision. Thanks in advance for any advice x
Hi Katy37, I had EC and yes it does make you feel spaced out. Have a word with your medical team as they should be able to give you various anti sickness meds to get rid of nausea/sickness. I had 4 different types and they worked really well.
Wishing you all the best
