Just had to tell you all my 1st EC treatment went ok yesterday, just the waiting for the phone call to go to the unit caused mega anxiety!!!  Only took about 1 and 1/2 hours. Went to our Maggies for a welcoming coffee and a piece of cake - much needed. Grateful thanks to all. 
Today I felt good and have taken all meds for sickness as told and drunk water so regularly. I also have been wearing SeaBands. Fingers crossed I carry on this good. My next date is 30th November the day after my birthday!!!  Hope everyone else’s is going well. I know it’s early days - one down 5 more to go. Thanks for being so supportive xxx

  • Glad it went well Aitch,  hope you continue to feel good x

    Hi AitchB

    Well done for getting your first treatment out of the way and glad you're feeling well - long may it continue.

    You have the same birthday as me - 29th November. Sorry that your next treatment is happening after your special day. Double being spoiled for you!

    Thank you. Hope your hiccup was manageable.

    I've finally started treatment - on oral chemo. Started taking the tablets yesterday. Only a little nausea yesterday and strange stabbing pains today. I'm hoping it won't get too much worse.

    Yes my hiccup was sorted quickly thank goodness constipation/diarrhoea not to be recommended!!! 
    Glad you’ve started treatment and that the nausea doesn’t get any worse. Don’t know about your stabbing pains but after my lumpectomy I had lots and still get occasional ones. Sending positive vibes to you and hugs xxx

    It was a bit, why always at a weekend as well.  I did phone for advice which helped and although I felt like a rung out dishcloth  I soon got over feeling weak. Not recommended but on my next cycle I shall be aware around day 5.
