Hi all starting chemo wed for sec to lungs dreading it had bad time with fec/ tax not looking forward to it again plus the whole hair loss thing again thinking if I can wait a bit longer my onc sd its my dec but I know have to have it sometime just hate the feeling crap when I’ve been well for over a yr this stinks laura
Laura so sorry to read this and yes it does stink, but you know what your a strong person youve come through it once and you can do it again. Grit those teeth together and plunge into it. I have read where people have said second time around it isnt so bad so you never know. Thinking of you and sending you good wishes.
Thinking of you Laura - I’m on third lot of chemo and know I did not want to start it with all thoughts of new side-effects etc. but am ok now having started - am feeling better so think it’s working on my mets and am managing new side-effects so it just feels like another stage. Each chemo can have very different side effects - FEC and TAX made me exhausted but I’m not too bad with Capecetime (just have very painful feel and hands to cope with as new challenge)
Thinking of you as you make your decision

Hi Laura, sorry to hear you have to go through it all again, Im in the same boat, just started chemo for second time. I think the thought of having to do it all is awful but once you get started like Hatty said you grit your teeth and plunge in, you got through it once and you can do it again! Having this forum to vent when i’m feeling c*** and get support when i need it helps. Hope it does the same for you.
It’s a tough decision to make.
Keep us posted on what you decide to do.

Sorry to hear that there is more chemo for you, Laura. Once you get going it will be ok. What are you having?
Frances, I am about to start capecetine after fec and tax. Just starting to feel a bit more lively after the tax
