Chemo cycles

HiTony T

I like many on here have been through chemotherapy, six sessions, the thing about it is your blood cells get low and you can catch things easily, not that it will happen to you, you’ve probably read all about the side effects, in my case loss of hair, ( you can get a cold cap which helps ) fatigue and tiredness, plus hot flushes, which can be a devil, there are others but these are the main ones.

Usually, the second/ third day is when it hits you, as some will tell you its fairly harsh, as you said we’re all different, but some of these I’ve mentioned will apply.

I do stress one thing, take your temperature morning and night, it’s very important.

Stay safe

Hi Tony I have been writing about my experience which might be helpful to you? It is in this forum and should be on the front page at the moment.  I haven’t had the best time with side effects, fatigue, pain and various other bits and bobs but many fly through this type of chemo with no problem.  I think some people work but others not, I couldn’t work with the levels of pain and fatigue I had.

I know each person is different but my family told me to stop driving (a car) I don’t know financially where you are but I would suggest planning to stop driving if possible. I worked (sort of) but I couldn’t under scrutiny
