Went for my 3rd chemo yesterday and while I was having it become dizzy and got chest pains. Ends up with me being in hospital overnight. Thought might be a blood clot luckily it isn't. They reduced the dose this time as drugs was to strong for me.. Fed up coming into hospital. Every chemo I've ended up in... Ready to pack it all in....

    Had my first chemo 5 days ago. Have been in and out of hospital ever since. Heart palpitations shaky tremors nausea dizziness breathless. Now thrush in throat through iiv antibiotics. Consultant has agreed to reduce second dose by 15%. Hope I cope better. Actually feel the steroids caused a lot of the issues. Anyone else agree?

    Hi tiger club. 

    I came in the next day after my first chemo with headaches and chest pains put it down to stress and anxiety. Not sleeping at all. On my 2nd chemo hemo managed to stay home for 4 days, then started d to go dizzy, shivering and feeling rotten. Doc decided to drop meds a bit. Had 85 % on Fri and one of the meds didn't add it. Thought I'd be ok but took bad while having it. Had a ct scan thus evening. Will get results tomorrow when I see my doc. Still going dizzy so not allowed off the bed. Pain having to ring for someone when I want to go to go to the loo. Lol
