message for liz Hi Liz ,it was great to hear from you and eventually to find someone my own age with similar treatments.
Its a week since my first taxotere and I woke up today feeling really good.
My first 2 FEC were awfull I was so sick for days after and ended up in hospital like you, my third FEC was slightly better in the fact that I wasnt sick but I really struggled mentally, had a really bad panick attack that lasted for about 3 days which is not like me as I have been so positive from day 1, was so weak and dizzy for the whole 3 weeks. so I was dreading my first Tax as I didnt think I could go through that again but my first one was ok, no sickness just very tired and pains in my fingertips and random shooting pains all over oh and bad guts (needing to go to the toilet every couple of hours) sorry, ha ha.
How many lymph nodes did you have taken out? I had 6 and it had spread to 4, I had a wide local excision. I am also HER 2+ and hormone neg.
have you been to any of the young womens forum weekends? I am going to the one in Birmingham next month I am really looking forward to it to be able to talk face to face with people who know what its like and know what we are all going through.
When is your next FEC? Hope it goes well for you.
Its great that you replied, I got really excited knowing there was someone my age out there.
we will def have to keep in touch
take care
