Being positive

Hi, I am due my second roud of FEC on Thursday and I have posted and posted about all the side effects I have had. Yesterday I was so negative and could not see any light at the end of the tunnel. However, the antibiotics must have kicked in as today day 18 for a few hours this morning I felt like my old self for a change. I have tidies the house and made the dinner. I’m shattered now but I was beginning to think I would never feel well again. I know the process starts again on Thursday but at least I know my old self is still in there just waiting for all this to be over with. Just wanted to post something positive for a change xxx

Hi,
saw you had not had a reply yet and just wanted to salute your positive moment and send you cyber best wishes. I had 12 doses of chemo and realised that if I made a brief diary of how I was on each day during the cycle, i could plan to do lots on good bits and be prepared for bad bits. So upping the veg, senna just before the bunged up bit came to reduce the impact! Also planning nice things with the family and friends when i knew the better bit would come in and asking for someone to take over on the total sofa days. Take care, good luck and keep focused on those good days. If it makes you feel that crap just imagine how much damage its doing to any c cells :slight_smile: x
