Hi looking to connect with more people on 4Ec and 4 pac i started in march 2026

Found this @m1sty.george xxx :heart::sunflower::people_hugging: via the β€œSearch”.

Its a tough call @cazgib10 . No, I dont think it is always easy to be positive and philosophical all the time. Thats unrealistic.

Its totally fine to get grumpy and say how hard it is.

I encourage everyone to share bad days. Thats the reality. It can be very grim. :heart::heart::bouquet::bouquet::people_hugging::people_hugging: Xxx stay strong, but rest when you are totally exhausted. I sleep loads.

I started EC 8/5. Ive now got a cold :sneezing_face::face_with_medical_mask:, so last weeks 22/5 was delayed. But the toxic feeling the first week was very grim.

My hair is going now, :person_bald::person_getting_massage:, this week, and ive had mouth ulcers/soreness all last week. My Oncology team gave me mouthwashes that help. Difflam, and a gell. I also have to swish with salt water and vitamin C mouthwash, throughout the day.

Its not a walk in the Park thats for sure. Xxx

But sleep gets me through it. Even on my better days Ive needed a few hours sleep. :sleeping_face::sleeping_face: I also drink loads and I eat more protein, to give my body chance to recover. As well as lots of varied fruit and veg.

Its all helped. :heart::heart::people_hugging::sunflower::flexed_biceps::flexed_biceps::person_in_lotus_position:

Stay strong but just give in to exhaustion when you need to. Its our body telling us to stop and rest. Pamper yourself at those time. I never fight exhaustion. I give into it. :person_taking_bath::person_in_bed::person_in_lotus_position:xxx
