Offline

Hi chrissylemon here! Have just had my 2nd round of chemo and am managing the side effects just!!!! My main one is insomnia have been awake since 339am! Have got diazepam which does help but don't want to get hooked on them! I finish the steroids tomorrow which should help but i still had difficulty last time throughout the three wks? Any suggestions? And did anyone find the taxotere worse than the fec? Xx
