Glory
Offline

Hi, I have Breast Cancer and on EC Chemo Treatment, Just had my 2nd Cycle of Chemo, and suffering from Headaches which is putting pressure on the eyes too, and already lost hair after 1st Cycle of Chemo.  Anyone else on this treatment, suffering or suffered the same.  Is it common to feel tight chested too?

Not sure what to do right now?

Will be good to hear others experience

 

  • Welcome to our forum, Glory.

    I'm sorry to hear you have breast cancer and that you're feeling poorly from the treatment.

    We have other members here on Cancer Chat who will be able to relate to what you're experiencing and I hope some of them will be along shortly to offer their advice and support.

    Also, if you wish to speak to someone medically trained over the phone, please know that our cancer nurses are just a phone call away and you can reach them by ringing this phone number 0808 800 4040,  Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator

    Oh dear , this must be a big hill to climb ... I've just had masectomy few weeks ago but not treatment yet ... There's no advice I can give but just to let you know your not on your own ... Many have trod this path before us and there will be many following in our footsteps too ... 

    Try to take a day at a time and McMillan have lovely people at the end of the phone who have also trod the same path.... 

    So sending you my thoughts and a mahoosive hug. Xxx
