Oh god! I feel rough…grrrhhhhh…aches and no energy…HELP…i thought i was doing okay…steriods must have worn off!
Know the feeling Naz. Are you taking any pain relief? I didn’t bother with 1st tax as didn’t think it would work, but took brufen and paracetamol with second and it worked a treat. I also got zopiclone from onc for sleep.

What’s zoplicone Julia? Will it help me sleep?
Just taken ibroprofen now, but i really need a good sleep tonight!

NAZ do take paracetamol as well as ibuprofen tax pains seem to need the combination.I only had pain with the first one but the tiredness got worse each time.
Keep going love.

Still feeling rough…feels like i have cold like symptoms…achy and shivery…is this normal?
Feel a little weepy too??
Kids home in 4 hours, maybe they will cheer me up…
Naz xx
p.s sorry to go on…
Naz
Zopiclone is a sleeping pill. Quite mild but certainly helps to tip me into sleep. The aches I get but not the shivers. Can you check your temp? If its above 38 degrees you’ll need to seek further advice. I do get hot flushes but i suspect thats cos my ovaries have been fried!! I took both brufen and paracetamol regularly which really worked. If it doesnt help you they can give you something stronger.

Okay, thanks Julia…will ask for the sleeping pill next time as i feel exhausted…
Taking the ibrofen, will take some paracetemol too (can you take it at the same time?)
Temp is okay, shivers have subsided…just achy…

Hi NAZ
Here’s the link to the BCC chemotherapy publication which you may find helpful:

BCC would always advise you to contact your medical team for further advice regarding symptoms and treatments.
Take care

Hi Naz
Yes you can take them at same time. Remember to eat something with the brufen. I get lansoprazole from onc as well, which protects your tum from the effects of steriods, brufen etc. Helps if you have no appetite. I get all my meds on prescription, including paracetamol; why pay for it if you dont need to! Have you got an exemption certificate?
Julia xx
Hi Julia
Yes i have an exemption cert somewhere i think…although i have loads of paracetemol stored away.
Def got no appetite either, strange?
Naz x
My appetite has taken a knock too, even chocolate! Like you, I have moments of thinking I can’t go on with it, but I will! One more to go!
Julia xx
One more to go for you, gosh that is great!
Two more here, two too many for my liking!
Bread seems to be going down well, so may as well eat what i feel like hey!

Naz, hoping you are starting to come out of the fog a bit, thinkin of you. Believe me it will pass quickly, but at the time you really feel like it’s never gonna end. Keep topped up with the paracetemol to keep them in your system, don’t be a hero. Hang on in there girls, it will soon all be over…

Time does fly. I remember when you were saying you weren’t going to have chemo due to hair loss!!
Julia xx
