That is great. Thanks Gill. X
Hey up me ducks
Ive been ok all day, kept myself busy bleaching the house, even went and bought my daughter a car for her birthday, im now sat with the hubby freaking out about starting chemo tomorrow telling him im not going
Xxx
Yes. You WILL be fine. Not what you expect at all. Honest! Will be thinking of you and let us know how you get on. You will be so relieved that your doing something to make everything right again. Xx
Hi Rowan44
I’ve tried to send you a private message on here but wont send!! I have followed you.
Also searched the new fb group but no luck!! Is it all one word?
Hey up me ducks
FEC 1 done, the hubby literally half carried half dragged me in cuz I wasnt going, took them 15mins put the cannula in, they blamed my size (im 4ft 11 and almost 7stone) and said if they struggle next time I’ll have to have a picc line, feel like ive just woken up after drinking a litre bottle of vodka banging head since got home and not long started to feel really sick
Hope everything goes well with everyone starting their chemo soon
Xxx
Oh, I hope you feel better in the morning! Steroids might give you a boost tomorrow. Xx
Rowan44, been given the lowest form of antisickness tablets as they said they want to see how I cope with side effects xxx
Jill26, hope so, I need to be ok for thursday-my oldest daughter turns 17 and dont want to spoil her birthday, cant wait see her face when she sees her car xxx
Jonsi79, good luck for tomorrow, I’ll be thinking of you xxx
Jonsi79, are you going for the cold cap xxx
No I am not. I like being hot so didnt think I would be able to stick the coldness. And as I am having a dense dose (once every fortnight) it would add to the time I’d have to be at the hospital!
I did today, I have to say it bloody hurt, id rather give birth again :-/ not enjoying things now, cant sleep and been sick 3 times, everyone says I should have my hair cut (its just below my bra strap, really thick and very straight) but dont know whether I should get it cut or not, im sorry Jonsi79 I shouldnt be moaning when your starting your chemo tomo xxx
Need to speak to onco, antisickness tablets not working, being sick every 20 mins 
xxx
Hope the sickness stopped! You definitely need to ask for different drugs if they’re not working!!
I would recommend cutting your hair! I had long blonde hair when i was diagnosed. Cut it to a bob middle of jan and just cut it short. Its very tough but its good to be in control! And hopefully will be easier than seeing long hair falling out!! And less painful they say but everyones different and it is a personal choice. One girl I met on fb donated hers to a childrens cancer charity. Maybe thats something you could look into and would give it a purpose.
Big hug xxx
Hi ladies, another vote for Emend if you’re suffering from nausea and sickness with FEC, it was a life saver for me.
Hugs to you all starting chemo, it’s not nice but doable XXX

Hi ladies. I would love to join the discussions and also the FB group. I am starting chemo tomorrow afternoon and just can’t sleep tonight so thought I’d do some surfing and came across this thread(all 8 pages of it now)!. I am on taxotere for 6 cycles then radiotherapy. I had a mastectomy and axillary node clearance on Christmas Eve and have ongoing problems with seroma.
Not really looking forward to tomorrow but trying to find the ‘fighting spirit’ that the onc said I’d need! Took my steroids too late in the day and am now wired and can’t sleep!
Good luck to everyone who is facing this ordeal at the moment. It is tough but got to be done. I read somewhere recently to remember that this is just a chapter in our lives, not the whole book.
Will look for the FB group tomorrow as would love to join. Jo x
Hey up me ducks

Hi rowan44
Am drinking loads of water, the hubby literally follows me round with the thermometer wanting check my temperature every half hour, im ready take his temperature but he wont like where I put it
My 2 oldest (girls) have been fab, my 5year old son doesnt really understand, he just wants to be a superhero and keeps trying to fly and baby sleeps through now which is ace xxx
First cycle of chemo tomorrow…feeling anxious!!!
Hey jaffacakes
I rang my hospital and they gave me different antisickness drugs, they still werent right for me but they took the edge off, hope your ok xxx
Hey hopeful123
As you might have read from earlier posts I was petrified, andy half dragged half carried me and it was scary, think for me it will be scary every time cuz I like to be in control but its not as bad as you think, try get a good nights sleep, i’ll be thinking of you tomorrow xxx
Hey rowan44
Glad to know I made you laugh, ive come to the conclusion that if I dont laugh about it I’ll cry and ive done enough of that so if I can put snip bits on here that will make all you other fab ladies laugh I will xxx
