I had my first dose of EC chemo last Thursday. Was ok Thursday Friday then it hit Saturday. Had a very hot flushed face, felt a little sick, very heavy head and headache, fatigue, aching back and chest and just feel crap! I'm in touch with the chemo team who reassure me it's all normal. I'm a week tomorrow since chemo and am floored today! My body doesn't want to do anything! Just wondered if anyone else has felt like this and when or if you feel better before the next round! Feeling very frustrated!! 

  • Daughter found EC tough. She was pretty much exactly as you describe. Began to feel better during week 2 and fairly 'normal' during week 3, before next cycle.  

    It's definitely not easy but you will get through this. I hope you have friends or family to help you through the miserable days. Sending love and strength. xxx
