I want to say I have always taken a very positive approach to my cancer even though I know it's incurable.
I have been on weekly Epirubicin for 5 weeks.
After the first 4 treatments I got home already feel tired but found it almost impossible to sleep. I then had a couple of sleepy days and only really felt normal the day before the next treatment. Also there is compulsory anti-sickness the evening of Chemo then an optional one 3 times a day for 3 days. Week 5. I got home eat a curry and stayed up till 11.00 then slept through only waking a few times. This morning I was up by 10.00 I'm still up just after midnight. I've had 3 meals and no anti-sickness only last nights compulsory one.
My question is why the difference?
Positive - my body is getting used to the drug lessening its affect on me.
Negative - the drug isn't working.
Hi Angelmummi and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm not a member of this group but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be more easily spotted by other group members.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
