Cassie hope you are still feeling well as day has progressed xx
Well done Karana take it easy today. Good luck chaffinch I hope you’re not delayed. Let us know how you get on.
Hi SueW yea I’m feeling good thanks. Been for a walk this morning which was nice. Getting very autumnal now. Done some more colouring in and watching films. Probably should re-enter the real world at some point.
How’s you Sue?

Well done Karana glad things went well for you. Know what you mean by the sheet of paper telling you about the meds. I had to call the nurses today and ask them to clarify. So if you’re not sure just do that. I too had a bit of a headache and its still coming and going today. Hope your recovery is ok, I’ve been just sitting watching TVs today but feel ok. Might try a short walk tomorrow if I still feel ok.
No appointments today so that’s always a bonus lol x mri scan tomorrow
I have been shopping and done some Xmas shopping and got curry ready for tea
Keeping busy keeps me distracted and out of mischief ha ha ha x
Well done Karana and hope all goes well Chaffinch. Take it easy now for a day or 2 and see how you feel. Get your sweets ready, take your tekp and not down how you feel for next time. I am scared to say ot but i have almost felt normal today on day 8. I have cooked, baked and shopped. The joy is in the mundane everyday thongs that we take for granted xxx
Back home already, they had me down for 2pm & 3pm so she had been calling for me for an hour, she was surprised that no one cheered when I went in!
Well behaved vein after hand in very hot water and everything went in very quickly. The anticipation was definitely worse than the reality for me. They are very good at putting you at ease. My chair was huge, ok I’m quite small but it really was wide, hubby just got a stool!
Feel a bit woosy but otherwise ok at the moment. I wouldn’t have wanted to drive though.
Nearly didn’t have time for my tea and gingernut.
Waiting for side effect bingo now…
Felt a bit sick after F went in but think that might have been a bit panic attack related because I was fine after that.
Evening ladies, hope you are all OK and any side effects are not to bad. I’ve bought myself a v pillow and blanket today ready for Friday and am actually quite excited to try the pillow in bed tonight, it’s the most excitement I’ve had for a while! Having read your posts I’ve made a note to write down any instructions for taking medications as I don’t always remember at the best of times. Also got an appointment with the wig lady tomorrow, hopefully she will find me something suitable xx
I will be watching your posts intently Karana, because you are a few hours ahead of me. I just feel a bit spaced at the moment almost like when you have a drink on an empty stomach. Hubby is making my tea so that hopefully it will have time to settle before any nausea kicks in.
It is weird being hyper sensitive about what is going on in your body.
Well done Chaffinch & Karana, take it nice and easy.
Runnerbean & SueW - go v pillows!
Ali, really glad to hear you’re feeling almost normal on Day 8. Same for me, on Day 9.
Big hugs xxx
I noticed they are selling v pillows on Groupon for £8.99 incl a cover. Can’t comment on quality as I haven’t bought one.
Well done ladies xx
Well done Karana and Chaffinch, glad it went well for you. I too feel felt spaced out afterwards yesterday. Had a bit of dizziness on and off today and head still feels a bit weird. Have spent day on the settee, only just realised I’m still in my pjs! Other than that have been pretty good. Lucky my tastebuds seem to be holding up. Take things easy and get others running round after you!
Glad that you are coping ok, long may it continue.
I am feeling a bit panicky, I think it is again the fear of the unknown. It’s hard to tell what is feeling out of control and what is side effects at the moment. The lack of control is making me feel quite weepy.
Chaffinch i felt exactly the same. Felt relieved yet scared. Drink plenty of water and do just as you have been told. Keep your sweets handy too. Here i am one week on and ok. Big hugs xx
Hi Ladies i had my first FEC today and wasnt half as bad as id expected and went smoothly…taken meds as prescribed and managed a sandwich but tastebuds seems to be playing up already grr!! Got sea bands too so had them on! Feel a bit sickly but not been sick…the feeling comes and goes! Relieved number 1 is done! Hope everyone else is well and those who had first session today are ok xx
Looks like there are a few of us who have had FEC for the first time today.
Well done Mikala. Hope you get some sleep tonight…dont forget to take anti sickness if you need it xx
Well! First bout of sickness done! I took my Ondestanone at about 10pm felt better briefly before bed at 11 but have hardly slept just a couple of 10 minute snatches. Tried counting backwards from 100 like chemo nurse suggested and kept thinking that the waves of nausea were just my panic attacks, woke up from one of these at 2am and knew immediately that it wasn’t that! Not sure why I bothered having my tea. I thought if I had it at 6pm I would digest it before the nausea kicked in but I think my digestive system just went on a go slow then stopped. I do feel better now though and hubby has gone downstairs to make us a cup of tea. I’ve had one ginger biscuit that went down ok so I will have another with my tea then hope for some sleep.
Hope everyone else is sleeping peacefully x
Had my hormone therapy iv yesterday Herceptin and pejerta gosh I got migraine and couldn’t stop being sick,woke up fine at 11.55pm
Time for chemo today at 11am then that’s 1 down 5 to go xx
Good luck today Sam x
