I love to listen Keane, Tom Chaplin, I discovered them by mistake on radio a few years ago and left in my soul

Also, entirely unrelated to breast cancer, but I’d completely forgotten what a brilliant song This is the last time by Keane is.

Well done on raising money and awareness Annemanc and Naughtyboob, and have fun walking.
As to the chemo, how’s everyone doing? I think the effects of tax/carbo are ramping up for me now, more tired, frequent nosebleeds and very dry, sore mouth and throat, and losing sense of taste. Most things taste chemical.
Did anyone see lovely Amy on Strictly? Such a fab role model.
Wishing you all well as we start another week.

Same here. 4/12 Paclitaxel and very similar symptoms to you with added tingling in fingers and toes but it goes away when I wriggle. Had a rough weekend, slept a bit better last night.
I’m not enjoying eating anything really it all tastes odd. I am rinsing my mouth with salt water several times a day to help prevent sores.

Am two thirds of way through EC now (had my second cycle Thurs before last). After EC I move into docetaxel for three cycles. All every three weeks.
Found the second EC harder to shake off than the first, hard to describe the feeling. I feel “chemically” a lot of the time and my taste comes and goes. I’ve also found my memory is sketchy… I’m ok with dates but sometimes I completely forget certain words. My day job is in communications (words is my business) so I’m glad I’m signed off. Def finding that anything that distracts me is good, seeing friends, walking, cooking etc. My hair on my head is still there (cold capping) but I now have a very tidy bikini line. Hope everyone holding up ok.
And yes I saw Amy on Strictly! What a babe and so brave xxxx

Good idea to rinse mouth naughtyboob, sorry to hear you’re having similar symptoms too.
I’ve been given some mouthwash from hosp with NSAIDs in it, which helps, Benzydamine. Might be worth asking for some?
Everything feels so dry too.
Fingers crossed for a better couple of days before next dose now…

Managed a walk in the woods and see the ponies. Second week of pacli tomorrow hopefully it goes as well as it can be. I was given Diflam mouthwash preventively and so far so good but understand that after week 1 (carbo pacli and pembro + gcsf) I’ve got still loads to experience but am hoping I am less nauseous/feel sick and tired xxx

Walk done, managed a very slow 30 minutes.
Bit of a misty morning, walked past a field with sheep. Photo didn’t work!
Thanks for the playlist @annemanc will continue to use it.

Well done girls, keeping active,
I am a bit tired, my coughing does not allow me to sleep, nurse said that could be an irritating cough, my XRay is clear, but coughing it exhausts me, I am waiting a prescription for that, I used Manuka honey and onion and pine tea. for last night, I feel better but this fake coughing still in place.Take care girls:cherry_blossom:

You’re Looking lovely . Week 2 , paclitaxel. The cold cap made me throw up and the antiallergic made me sleepy but so far no reaction and that’s all I can wish for. Looks like I’ve gone off peppers too now!!
Does everyone else feels like a metallic taste and smell in their mouth?
Feeling tired and a bit achy and nausea seem to stay at bay today tg🙏
This week might be the week where I could go riding

Hi all
Feeling really down, had 2nd chemotherapy and have given in and got a friend to cut all my hair off - couldn’t brave the shave yet, my 13 yo son wouldn’t look at me, makes me so so sad. My head still feels Uber sensitive and sore
Yes @pinklilli3s I have nasty taste in mouth all the time and don’t really enjoy my cup of tea anymore!
Can I ask has anyone felt sore down below? It just feel itchy and hurts to pee
I did mean to ask my GP This morning as I had an appointment but I forgot - I had mastectomy and DIEP reconstruction in June but I’m sure I can feel a lump just under this breast - im really panicking that there’s more Cancer
I’ve just spoken to the BCN and I’m being referred back to a consultant
Apologies for long message xx
