Hi all
Hope everyone is doing the best they can
Had my first TC chemo yesterday
Didn't go too bad felt ok for.most part and the team were so lovely.
Had a bit a of whirring in my head so didn't sleep very well and had a bit of a headache this morning Also a touch a dizziness which resolved once I got up and drunk loads.
Scalp is a bit tender and irritated so I shaved the last of my hair off (had kept a sweeping fringe to ease the loss in) and by doing that the weight removal has eased that feeling.
But the worst side effect - I've developed chemo sweat and i feel like I stink!
I know i need to drink etc to flush it out
Anyone else had this and found any miracle or products to help lessen the smell?
Or is it only me that can smell the smell?
Physio gonna get a shock if it isnt at my appointment at the end of the week!
Oh also top tip take a carrier bag to first chemo, I had my bag of stuff (blanket etc) and then had no room for all the meds, book and sharps box they gave to me.
Luckily the onsite WHSmith's had a bag for life!
Right enough of my gabbering
Take care all
Mimi
