answers abt chemo & periods will be appreciated

HellO from Istanbul again,

My third TAC cocktail will be this friday.
So far so good , second chemo SE were better
than the 1 st one , less fatigue, less pain,less mouth sores

My hair did fall excepet my arms,my eye lashes. My eye brows : 50 % still there; my legs were hairless so no big difference. And as i shaved my hair when from the fists fall, i am on wigs and scarves, but in some parts of my head hair started growing a bit …
I think grape juice extract, beta glucans, benexol and 2 liters of daily water helps :)))

But i just got my period today and i would like to know
will i have any different side effects because i will be
menstruating during my chemo ???
also i started kind of sneezing since yesterday, it could
be also allergic because its very hot and humid in ıstanbul,
but i dont know if i should take any flu medicine ???
Also what abt taking some daily vitamine C . I was only
forbidden to eat grape fruit , but not oranges…

Prayers & hugs to all from Istanbul

Hi Seda

You are on your third dose already? My, that has gone quickly. Glad to hear that things are not too bad - good girl, well done!

I have no idea about periods, I never had one during chemo, so can’t help you, sorry.

I was told not to eat prawns, wash salad well, soft cheese, pate and anything that was unpastuerised.

In week 3 after chemo my eyes and nose started to run, it looked like I was crying and had a cold! It soon passes though. I wouldn’t take anything unless your Doctor okays it, best check with them.

My LAST chemo was 3 weeks ago and I feel great! No hair growth yet and the tiredness is slowly getting better.

Anyway, take care and keep drinking the water, you are halfway there now!

Lots of love…Daisy xxx
