August 2023 Starters

Hi all, started 6 cycles of TCHP on 3rd Aug and have completed the 2nd one.
Did have hospital admission after 1st one but think it might have been an UTI?
Fighting fit after 3 days in hospital and had portacath inserted 2 days before my second chemo.
Just looking forward to reaching the halfway mark next week.

Hi :wave: I’m new here and I started chemo in August. My plan is x4 EC then x4 Docetaxel with Phesgo. Is anyone else on a similar regime? Im on day 18 post second EC (3rd EC next week) and have been suffering with dizziness the last day or so. Has anyone else had this?

Jellytotz :heart: please let your team know about the dizziness so they are aware of side effects you are experiencing and they can keep eye on you :heart: chemo can be quite the magic carpet ride and you could react ditto each infusion so always best to keep your team full advised so they can get you safely through. I was on the rapid response number about everything during chemo and my team we’re grateful I was vigilant and kept them informed :heart:please let us know how you get on :heart::two_hearts::two_hearts::sparkles::sparkles:Shi xx

Hi @Jellytotz :slight_smile: hope you’re feeling better? I’m due to go onto EC in Nov, not looking forward to it! Just getting used to the side effects from my current carbo/taxol combo. Really starting to feel the cumulative effects now im 8 weeks in but another week closer to finishing I suppose. How are you getting on?
