Hi Angie29

I had my first FEC T treatment two weeks ago and the actual session went really well. I had a bit of a headache some days and some mild indigestion but nothing that required any medication. I had a follow up appointment today and mentioned this to the oncologist and have some medication in place if needed following my next cycle. Feel free to message me to compare notes if you would like to.

I have looked in to the FEC T regimen and it seems to me that quite often the FEC part of the treatment is the easier part, but I'm looking at it as I will be half way through my treatment by then and the end will be in sight. The side effects may worsen or in fact change on the Docetaxel but I think the best advice is to tell the medical staff  if you need help. 

The oncologist decides what chemo regimen you have after considering all of the factors and I would presume this would not usually be changed. Hopefully you can discuss any concerns you might have with the  oncologist / lovely chemo nurses and allay any fears you might have.

Keep in touch and let me know how you get on.

Hi Evie18,

thank you for your reply. Sounds like you’re managing the 1st treatment quite well with mild side effects. I’ve also heard that Docetaxel is the heavier part of the regimen. I’ll definitely stay in touch to see how you’re doing. Fighting breast cancer is not easy, but it’s nice to know there’s a community here supporting us.

Sending positive vibes for your 2nd treatment.
