First Chemo

1. Hiya I started my first chemo last year August I also was at the hospital 6 hours and yes I felt Ill. I did end up going to A&E as I felt that bad. I just felt very unwell sickness and my heart felt like it was coming out my chest. I was they a few hours put me on a drip checked my heart take some blood ect. I had 6 rounds of chemo before my op in December. I struggled for about 10 days after each chemo. I felt so tired. I lost my taste I couldn't drunk tea or some cold drinks as it made me feel sick. I also lost my hair. I know it's hard and it feels like they no light at the end of the tunnel but you will get there. Take care hope that help. 

Thank you so much, it just all seems a bit of a struggle at the moment.  Hopefully feel better tomorrow.
