  • Hello Josie and welcome to our forum,

    I am sorry to hear about you are suffering from loss of appetite and headaches. We do have some information on the chemotherapy drug combination FEC-T including the side effects it can cause here.

    Do mention these to your medical team and they may have some useful suggestions on how to combat these issues.

    Feel free also to ring our nurse helpline at any time for support or advice. You can reach them on this free number 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. They may have some additional suggestions for you.

    I hope you will also hear from others here who are having the same treatment and struggling with similar side effects.
