July 2025 chemo starters

I’m glad the Picc line wasn’t too bad @hedgehog. It sounds like you’ve been having some difficult things to navigate. I hope you’re ok? How’s the Docetaxol been?
And what a big change for you @trix1! I imagine adjusting to not being on chemo is another journey too. It’s lovely to hear how you are.

I hope everyone else is getting on ok with their second and third doses? (I think that’s where a lot of us are at? But thinking of everyone!)

I have found the single injection for filgistram easier @hollyhock63. Maybe a bit more intense the 1-2 days after with headaches but then definitely not lasting as long as I was finding with the 7-injections. My third EC hasn’t been too bad. A little more fatigue but I am still doing life (kids, work, gym etc all to lesser scale but still happening!). I’m alternating between the wig and managing to ‘comb over’ the remaining hair into a tiny ponytail :sweat_smile: One more EC to go and then I’m onto Paclitaxel. I’m starting to feel a little daunted by some of the longer term hormone treatments that lie ahead, and the fear around ‘prognosis’ both short term and long term seems to catch me ‘off-guard’ every now and again. I don’t know if others find that too?

Anyhow, sending positive vibes in all directions :heart:
