Yes I’m also on domperidone and have the felling of shaking but not shaking it’s just a weird feeling, took the last Emend today I was only given 3 days worth, I’ve not been sick but today is my worse day so far, day 3, in fact I came to bed for a granny nap this pm, made the mixture for my lemon drizzle cakes realised I had no greased proof paper so came to bed instead, my partner, bless him, has been to tell me he has been out and got some, so I had better haul myself out of bed to finish them off.
Oh they joys
Big hugs

Me too Carmia and just burnt my bloody thumb on the cooker x
Strangely I also have just burnt my thumb taking the said lemon drizzle cakes out of the oven.
Sarah my man is cooking my tea tonight bless him, I’m about to take a shower, I will definitely be listening to my body I feel almost like hung over, or like when I used to do the dreaded night shifts.
It isn’t nice whatever it is
Big hugs x x
Hi All. Sorry for being ‘missing’ for a few days. My asthma has been really bothering me. I am on antibiotics and steroids to sort it out. I am feeling much better today. I really hope this doesn’t happen each cycle. Still, at least I know what to expect now.
Monday I go for my picc line, Wednesday to see the Onc. and Thursday the 2nd chemo.
Glad your feeling better and the antibiotics are kicking in, I’m still eating my ginger for the nausea but it helps and I’m still eating and enjoying my food, face and neck still red I think from the domperidone, no swelling though do will just monitor that, otherwise I’m ok, sleeping better.
Big hugs ladies keep strong
Carmia x x
Morning carmia I am always a bit flushed in the morning and then it settles. If it doesn’t settle check your temp. It should be fine as long as you are feeling ok within yourself but check with helpline xxxxxx
Afternoon everyone day four. Keep thinking oh feeling better. Clean tidy up and then whacked again. Sorry if this is too much info but I’ve actually been for a Poo. Yippee celebrating. Off the steroids and feel less shaky. Love to you all. Found that green bottle ginger and Lemongrass is excellent for sickness. Xx
Hello TC green bottle ginger and lemongrass, what’s that? I’m struggling with nausea just now, also just took my last steroid, but on the whole feel ok x x
Green bottle is the name of the company they do sparkling waters and one of them is lemon grass and ginger. Its like ginger beer but not so gassy or sweet. We got ours from sainsburys but I think they sell it in a few stores. Its also a good fluid intake. I pinched it of one of the other forums and it’s very good. They also mentioned gingers nuts xxx
Ginger nut biscuits. Its a pity I cant load a picture id have sent you one. You could Google it on the web xxxx
I’m eating the biscuits and drinking ginger ale but as you say finding it gassy had a lovely nap this afternoon shower and feel a little better, but I will look out for the drink sounds lovely
Thanks for the tip

Glad nobody’s offended What’s said in the forum stays in the forum xx Been watching some scarf tying videos on you tube. Hope I can look that glam. Haven’t even got the energy today. I too had a shower but think it knocked me out. Love to all xx
Hi Chris,
I had a CT Chest, abdomen and pelvis and a bone scan. I have only one node at present. The scan is to give them a baseline to measure your treatment against, I was so worried that the cancer may have spread before I started the chemo. The results were negative for any spread to lymph nodes outside the breast. I work in CT scanning so regularly see patients with breast cancer. It is normal to have these checks during chemo treatment. I think it is based on the size and grade of the cancer. I wish you all the best for your treatment when it starts. The forum has been an amazing support. xx
Hi Caffy I have not been offered any scans yet. I had one node, Her2+ and grade 3. Onc has not mentioned anything yet. I start on 28th. Suzy how are you feeling now? What number chemo were you on? Sounds scary. big hugs xxxxx
Scary. Have they out off your next one? Is there anything you could have taken to stop it happening? Hope you feel better soon xxx
Hugs Suzy EB x
Nothing I could do to stop it happening. Have Oncology appointment on Monday when we will discuss how to progress with treatment. Best thing is to keep as healthy as possible and monitor my temps closely. I am hoping that the next chemo goes ahead, possibly at a slightly lower dose. Whatever is decided will be the best for me. Thanks Ange. xx
Oh dear Suzy I’m sorry you was poorly but flipping relieved your back home and feeling better, good advice for all of us, I need to get a thermometer.
I managed the whole evening with my brother and sister and our partners, Chinese and ginger ale, it was really nice and I was glad of the afternoon nap, I managed a small supper.
Had my ginger biscuits and a decaf coffee, had my domperidone this morning, done with steroids and emend now.
Off to a McMillan cake and champagne thing this pm, and my hair is thinning a little but on the whole I think I’m still doing ok.
I’m pooing anyway ?
Happy Sunday ladies
Stay strong
Big hugs x x x
Have a good Sunday everyone. My daughters are coming to see me today. Really looking forward to it. My hairs starting to thin too Carmia. Think you and I are at the same stage x Love to all. The sun is shining here in East Anglia xx
Thank you to everyone for your hugs. Had a lovely evening as a friend came round and cooked stir fry. Lots of family coming down with colds so having to stay away from them. Sarah it is beautiful here in sunny Essex. Been wandering in the garden. A day to sit and enjoy the sound od lawnmowers and the smell of late bbqs. I am getting the last few clumps of hair shaved off this week. Loving my cotton beanies, even got one for sleeping in. It is amazing how cold your head gets at night. Stay well everyone. xx suz
