Hi everyone,
I’m starting chemo next week. Anyone else starting in June who’d like to swap notes?
Just catching up with your posts and realised that you did get your treatment plan. I’m hoping I start chemo in June so perhaps we will be able to exchange experiences and top tips!
Hi, I’m new to the forum - I start my chemo next week too - not feeling too nervous about it. How are you doing?
Hi @Ravencat im starting chemo on weds the 1st of june, not sure how many or what im having yet got to see my onc tuesday (the day before) to tell me
Morning everyone
So I had a rocky start - first day of chemo had to be delayed due an issue with my PICC line causing me too much pain and having to be removed. Had first round on 1st June. first few days I felt tired out, days 5 and 6 were the bad days for feeling nauseous and exhausted. But feeling better this week - more energy and managing to eat again.
Ginger nut biscuits helped when I felt really nauseous- I used them for pregnancy sickness too. I’ve bought some kids toothpaste as I couldn’t tolerate mint one while I felt sick.
I decided against cold cap in the end - on the day I was meant to start chemo they had me plugged in and left on for five hours - ice cream headache but not worse than that but I didn’t like the feeling of being plugged in and unable to move properly, I also didn’t like the extra time it was adding to treatment.
tonight is my last of the filgrastin injections - I’ve found ibuprofen worked for the bone pain with those so far.
sending you all positive vibes
Hi, I am a newbie on here and start my chemo on Friday. Having Picc line fitted tomorrow. I have already had two ops March and April and am cancer free but as it can travel via the blood I am now having chemo, six sessions of EC and then radio. I sm going to try cold capping as I have waist length hair which I love. Any advice would be mutch appreciated. Good luck to you all x
Hi all,
I am due to start chemotherapy next week - I have a 16 week plan 4 x EC and then 4 x Paclitaxel. I was only diagonised Friday and am still trying to get my head around what is going on.
Any tips would be appreciated x
I have just come across my old posts and wondered how any of us June 22 starters got on.
I have just completed my treatment and am now cancer free. Rang the bell ! It felt so good. Thank you NHS they have been brilliant all the way through.
38mm lump …6 chemo session…shrunk to non existent.
Had surgery anyway just to make sure they saw nothing but some scar tissue.
5 radiotherapy sessions.
It was so wierd I had cold cap during chemo and loved it. Only Time I felt normal as menopausal lol kept all my hair which was very thick but then during recovery stage my hair started molting on my hairbrush. Still a little know. Anyone else had the same reaction ?
Anyway I do so hope you are all at the end or nearly there and hope your journey was successful.
