Had with first EC session 
started being nauseous right on the spot (during the red E drug) so they gave me Olanzapin right there. It helped but I had to take a 2-hour nap when I came homeā¦
I think the nausea will be a big problem since I feel it even with the strongest anti sickness drugs. That is kind of expected but still sucks
They would always give me anti sickness before they started giving the EC infusion. Did they not for you?
I remember my first time having EC I could feel a sick feeling for about 24 hours. I just made sure to keep on top of the anti sickness meds they sent me home with. I never missed a dose.
Hope it settles for you too x
Howās everyone feeling this week?
Iām feeling a lot happier 
my plan has changed back to the original so instead of having to have the weekly paclitaxel and a new drug added, Iām sticking to my 2 weekly paclitaxel course. Such a relief. I had my 3rd infusion yesterday so I only have 1 left to go 
I also have some hair regrowth on my bald patches 
Hope everyone is doing ok x
Yeah, I had a strong antisickness pill before the session and 16 pills of steroids but I still feel nauseousā¦ This is probably some individual reaction I have.
Glad to hear you are coming back to the original plan, 1 extra week in between to recover sounds awesome 
Happy to hear that they are sticking to the original plan and itās will give you some time to rest.
2/9 Pac done, had to try 2 veins, probably because Iād not been able to drink much last few days, felt wiped out on unit, Dr came to see me and prescribed Ondansetron she mentioned the importance of trying to eat little and often said although its hard, its important to break the cycle of not wanting to eat for fear of being sick. Up to now Iāve gone shopping with hubby straight after treatment but today heās on his own, ive asked for mints, crackers, sweet potato, ice lollies. Just had slice of bread with tin mackeral + chilli oil, possibly a bit of homemade curry tonight.
My oncologist prescribed me yesterday Lansoprazole gastro-resistant capsules to help me eat as I lost 8kg in 3rounds of chemo due to bad indigestion and sickness.
Maybe ask your oncologist if it can help
Hope youāre all ok. Iām on day 3 after my first weekly paclitaxel. Today is my first day of feeling v tired. Ends of fingers feel a bit burnt so keeping an eye on it. Should I mention to my nurse prior to my next session? Itās v minimal at the moment. Hoping Iāll have more energy tomorrow onwards before next one on Tuesday x
Well done doing cycle 2. Hope you start to feel better v soon and you manage some food. Since starting pac Iāve got an urge for ice lollies!
I would monitor your fingers and mention it in your next review but if your concerned Iād phone it in.
Well I thought I was going to need to take a senacot but managed to go for a 20 min walk and stomach was cramping, I literally thought Oh! Sā¦t, I scrambled upstairs and Lava Bum strikes, taken Loperamideā¦ no wonder our bodies are struggling with all the meds were taking.
Glad you made it home in time! I will monitor my hands and Iāve also got some leg pain/cramps tonight. Think my body doesnāt like chemo! Hope you sleep well x
Bloody hell, just as Iām feeling better, no nausea, I think the steroids from yesterday kicked in, 3am cant sleep, thankfully I donāt have any take home meds, not sure if they forgot but I wont be asking lol Morning allā¦ and I nearly put my shoes in the fridge yesterday xx
Omg that made me smile with your shoes in fridge! Iāve got leg pain today and my fingers are still funny so Iāve emailed my nurse x
Mention the fingers to nurse on next visit. I had some issues but they were persistent, just on and off so my team were happy. Just let them know.
Will do thanks. Itās like the ends of my fingers are numb. Itās strange. Today feels like itās all a bit too much, no hair, no boob and now numb fingers and feel v tired. Feel v emotional about it all. Itās hard each day picking myself up and going again x
My fingers and soles of the feet feel number after the EC session as well, I keep the nurses informed. Hopefully itāll go away with time 
Iām spending 2nd day on a sofa with nausea now, having evergy only for audiobooks. Being emotional is so normal right now, my eyebrows started thinning and itās quite upsetting but Iām trying it not to get to me, itās all temporary
I am feeling very tired and fatigued and always feeling low too especially dealing with my husband that he overwhelmed with my requests and my son that I canāt take him places coz I donāt have the energy.
I think being in middle of chemo is tiring, I am trying to close my eyes and sleep and I canāt because I have a constant headache and I am so afraid taking paracetamol everyday will damage my liver or cover any fever
Itās so hard isnāt it, I want to do so much around the house and with the family but I donāt have the energy. I am hoping as Iām on weekly paclitaxel that Iāll get 2:3 better days a week. Take care all of you. Itās tough what weāre going thru but weāre getting thru the weeks and soon be out of the dark tunnel x
The dr has phoned and reducing the dose for my next treatment on Tuesday. She said this should help with numbness and pains in legs x
Good to hear, I have chemo 4 next Thursday hope the lowered dose will ease my SES a little bit not expecting much
