Chemo

Hi I'm on my 3rd cycle of chemo for BC and just finished EC-T. A side effect I keep having is heaving like I'm going to be sick but never am sick. It usually happens when I talk about the treatment and when I go to the toilet. Has anyone else experienced this? My last 3 rounds are going to docetaxel. 

  • Yes I have sent an email. I do take biscuits and my iPad. Yes my treatment is at Scunthorpe the nurses are lovely. Will keep you up to date when I find out xx

  • Hi. 

    Ok. X. There are two different companies. Two different kits. Xx 

  • hope your ok xx. Glad it’s your last chemo x

    did you contact both companies for the goodies bag 

    ask for chemo ones it’s just nice stuff xx

    i spoke to my sis in law as she had breast cancer and she Used the cool cap said it gave her nasty headaches. It did not work for her list her hair. 

    I guess it’s different types of chemotherapy 

    I’m in London till Monday. I have my pet scan and oncology first appt on Tuesday xx. Consultant Friday guess I’ll gave a plan by next week xx. Scared. When your free let me know we can meet up. Be nice and what is your name mines Babita x

    Hi Babita,

    Could you possibly send me another friend request please? I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I lose a large number of these requests when I try to reply to them. I am of course happy to accept it.

    I hope that you are enjoying the break with your parents. Have you told them yet and if so, how have they taken the news?

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

  • Hi. 

     

    Sure I will send. How are you ? X. I’m in London right now. They are shocked but supportive. I’m coming back home Sunday. X

    i have a pet scan and oncology and then consultant to discuss treatment this week. Next week we are off to a spa for the weekend. Can’t wait. 

    Thank you.

  • Sorry took so long to answer kept saying could not recognise log in details. Email one of them but had no reply. My name is Jan yes we will meet up soon, hope all goes well next week. Don't be scared you will handle it, one day at a time xx

  • Hi. 

    No problem thank you for replying. And nice to keep in touch. 

    Got lots of appts next week. Hopefully I’ll be fine. My sis in law had breast cancer 8 years ago. For her the cool cap didn’t work. Said it froze her head and bad headaches. But it’s different for all I guess. 

    Look forward to meeting xx

    HI Babita,

    I'm fine thanks. I had my brain scan last Saturday, so am just waiting for the result, which could take some time.

    I hope that you are enjoying some time with your family, despite having had to give them the bad news. Still, you've done that now, so that is one thing less to worry about. They are naturally shocked, but I'm sure that they will be very supportive now that they know.

    You have a busy week this week with your PET scan and your Oncology appointment. Write down any questions you have for your Oncologist. This should ensure that you don't forget anything important. Next week is a great time to have your spa weekend - Enjoy!

    I shall look out for your friend request and reply as soon as I can.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx

    xx 

  • Next week you will be given a plan and you will cope. Enjoy the weekend and deal with the appointments one at a time. Xx
