Today

It is usual practice to go through your treatment plans with you before you start I.e. where you will go for treatment, if you require blood tests beforehand and if so where you need to go to have bloods taken. The main thing you get told is which chemo you will be getting and how you will get it, through a canulla or tablet form.

I hope you told the nurse today that you knew non of this and that she found time to go through it with you.

Hopefully it will all go to plan from now on

No I didnt even think. When the doc explained I'd have 12 weeks of chemo then radiotherapy he never said how it would be. So i assumed once a week. But nope after todays pills i dont go back till the 12 i find it all confusing I'll be making a list of questions for next time. My may concern today was is it the chemo making me irritable and crying..uugghh just feel so useless today. 

It was today you should have queried your treatment when you only got tablets not the drip you thought and you were in the right place to ask if it was the treatment making you feel yuk. As it stands now you’ve got till the 12 December to think about it and get yourself more wound up and that’s no help at all

Hi frazzled

i think your understandably getting upset prior to your treatment & just after. I think you’ll get some of your mojo back in a day or 2 ! Do something nice for yourself, treat yourself to something, or just relax with a good book or a film on TV 

Didnt think I woke up sunday really down and have been working hard on feeling better but wasnt there today so when they told ms I was so devastated about not being around some people for a bit. I live with two of my 5 kids but unfortunately one is a gamer and the other is just using me as a place to live she doesnt like me just feels I owe her because I gave birth to her. But she is 19 and really should be doing for herself now.. but idk am just tired scared and confused

Hi

Yesterday, after your treatment, you posted  that your treatment had consisted of 1 drip and 3 tablets.

Going off the  photo of your treatment plan that you posted a while ago, I seem to remember 2 types of chemo, one of which was Carboplatin. the Carboplatin will be the chemo delivered by the drip (intravenously), the other chemo will have be given by one of the 3 tablets.  The remaining 2 tablets will probably  have been 1 steroid and 1 x anti sickness,   The chemo is always given in cycles; in your case the cycle looks to be every 3 weeks.

The paperwork you received regarding the types of chemo to be given, will have been your treatment plan; if you can find this document it will explain everything about your treatment.

No I got the drip the first week with three pills a sickness pill to and steroids to. This week it was a sickness pill then the three I took last week again. Its starts with a v. I just dont understand it all. I have a book they gave me but it doeant explain things eaither.. I just feel lost and dark in my head. So every day is a battle to wake up and talk myself into feeling ok with the day. I've never wanted to just give up as much as I do right now cause I cant see the light at the end of tunnel..I hate feeling this way.. so being confused about the chemo just added to the worry in the pit of my stomach
