Hi,

Im also having FEC-T, are you having the injections to help with your blood count,? these give me a dull headache all week maybe that's why you have a headache. I see you have had lots of reply's that's good, I have just changed to Docetaxil.

As the girls have Said drink lots and flush it out, I had awful Nausea with FEC so made sure I had plenty of sickness tablets. I also struggle with Heartburn so have Gaviscon. 

Side Effects only generally last a week then you will get stronger before your next treatment.

I use an antibacterial mouth was ( can't think of the name) that the Doc gave me, I tend too use this for only the week after chemo..

I hope your journey goes well. 

Love Sarah x

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for replying, yes I'm having the injections so that would also explain the headaches... That's good to know, thank you! I'm drinking loads of water and peeing loads of course, but that can only be good really. 

It's interesting to hear side effects are only a week for you, or thereabouts,  but it gives me an idea of how I might feel. Of course we're all different  I'm currently within my 4 day steroid 'good day' block when I feel quite normal. But I realise that can't last, ah well!

Thanks for letting me know how you're doing, it's good to hear about other folks on the same treatment as me. Hope your journey continues OK and mine is just as manageable. 

Thanks
