Hi, I also am stage 1 grade 3 and had the full both sides breast mesectomy. I had my first session of chemo last week (26/may/2022) chemo drug they're using is EC. I also have opted to use the cold cap. When the drug was being given I had a perfume like taste in my mouth all of a sudden and felt acid indigestion but they gave me extra fluid so it passed very quickly. I'm currently day 6 past my first treatment and I've had many unwanted side effects some quite extreme. I've since found out I'm on the highest dose of that type of chemo and that its probably to strong for which is why I'm still not great. My hairs still on my head but I was told its usually starts falling out by week 3/4 if its even going to. My personal experience so far has been debilitating to the point I've suggested I don't want any further treatment but I've been reassured I won't feel this bad on the 2nd treatment. 

Side effects:

Dry mouth

Bad Nausea

Headaches

Muscles aches and pains

Weakness

Tiredness

Stomach cramps 

Diarrhoea 

They say the first session is the worst.

Hi, I finished my Chemo on the 14th April I had 6x FEC-T after grade 3 Stage 1 Idc, I had a lumpectomy.

i suffered from all of your list the first round I had, I actually felt so awful I thought I couldn't carry on, I am glad to say though after day 10 I felt much better, and then was ok ready for my next round. After my 2nd it wasn't as bad as the first round. It was also better as I knew what to expect, my advice is carry on with it if you can. Are you changing to Docetaxil after your EC? That's different again, I suffered from body aches but no sickness. 
 

hope you start to feel better xxx
