I just had my 2nd round of chemo and struggling with side effects

Hi everyone, Ive just had my 2nd round of chemo & really struggling with the side effects.  Sore throat & mouth being just one. Had to go to the assessment unit twice in a week as everything spike & I'm now Nutrapenic.  I'm really struggling big time with all these side effects & would appreciate any feedback from others in a similar position. Many thanks in advance. HJ.

  • Hi H. J. I too have had my second infusion of chemo last Thursday and had terrible sickness and lost a stone in weight. I'm OK now as I've 4 types of sickness meds. Yet today I felt so well and happy, I spontaneously had a wee dance to myself!! I'm Scottish but not a dour Scot (hopefully). I had a sore mouth too but Bonjela came to my rescue. 

    My hopes for you and me is I believe I'll be healed even tho this is my 3rd breast cancer. 

    You are the first person I plucked up the courage to speak to. 

    I'd love to keep in touch without being a nuisance. 

    Big shock losing my hair after 1st infusion, but I bought nice headgear.......... my two nieces are coming round on Sunday, 4 & 2 and it's days like this that I have to look forward to. I fill my house with relations and friends and you know H. J I feel blessed. 

    Hope I haven't bored the pants of you. It would be nice to hear from you 

    Love Sheila (a chatterbox Gemini) 

  • Hi Sheila, I loved reading your positive and hopeful reply. You’re a ray of light, and we all need that. I wish you all the courage and joy you can muster going forward. You’re a lovely Lady
