Oh no that sounds horrible, I hope you are ok now ? As said, treatment plan may need to be changed for you. Be kind to yourself & rest up, this is not an easy ride for any off us

Completely know how you feel. I had my first chemo weds this week and feel in a complete daze. There are so many appointments and drugs I have to take. I really want to keep working (I also love my job) and have a 12 year old daughter, so Iām really hoping I start to feel a bit better soon as I have to keep going. So know you are not alone and keep strong x

@tsoph really sorry to hear you had a hard time, hang on in there, oncologists will be able to sort it. I know itās very disappointing as we want to get it over with. Mine has been deferred 2 weeks in a row due to infections.Iāve found the knock backs very hard,this journey will have bumps on the road but weāll all get there in the end. Be kind to yourself as Iām sure youāre emotionally and physically exhausted. Sending you big hugs xxxx

@tsoph Just seen your message, donāt panic I had exactly the same reaction. I had the cyclophosphamide fine then started the docetaxal had an anaphylactic shock crash team adrenaline ect they then decided after an hour that we should re challenge it. We did and it happened again 2nd anaphylactic shock. I know itās scary however itās amazing how well organised all the medical nurses and doctors are. I then saw the oncologist who recommended 3 rounds of EC 3 weeks apart followed by Abraxane weekly for 9 weeks. Itās a complete rollercoaster I know! As you just want that first chemo session done and under your belt. However you did have the cyclophosphamide so thatās a good start and Iām sure they will give you a new plan very soon. Sending hugs Helen x

Well I seem to be recovering quicker than last time 
Day 2 and the nausea seems to be better controlled- though Iām rattling and probably need to up the laxido 
started to really shed hair yesterday despite cold cap 
havenāt taken my Noddy cap off yet to investigate. And COVID jab this morning - so hope I donāt react to that. Sleep is a bit illusive - probably the steroids. Hope everyone is doing ok xx

Thatās good news @gromit12 great to hear your doing fine - good luck with Covid jab imagine it could knock you a little so be prepared.
I was also in the wide awake club last night, was shattered after my 2nd EC in
the morning but couldnāt sleep ( must be the steroids ) so taking it easy today.
Much like last time for me also, no nausea or sickness just fuzzy head which I feel extremely grateful for however preparing myself for the Filgrastin onslaught which was so painful last time - taken all the advice of the lovely ladies here and well prepared.

Hi @pollyanna1 I hope you are doing well on your chemo - Iāve read a few of your posts so well done and keep going. Iām still waiting for my results and I know I have chemo coming - thatās going to be the hard bit I think after mastectomy and SLN. You mentioned a PICC line what is this please? Itās hard trying to take each baby step and scary learning too much at once but just trying to get a better understanding. I am hoping to start looking for a wig this week - canāt believe I even said the word 
. Take care and thank you for your posts x

@bettysmum this hair malarkey is horrid, just washed mine properly and the shed wasnāt as bad as Iād anticipated but it was enough! Good luck with the clippers today

@collywobbles a PICC line is a permanent long drip / catheter, that is placed just above your elbow and they thread it up to the major vessel going into your heart- checked on x-ray. They give chemo through, and can take bloods. Needs dressing by nurse every week- I go to a clinic. Downside you canāt get it wet, so have to have a cover for shower. Procedure to have it in was a breeze- they put local in and I watched on the ultrasound machine. I had it inserted on the morning of first chemo, and should last for duration.
Called mine Percy!!
