Thanks.
Yep ladygarden vanishing - not sorry to see that go - nor is hubby lol
Hair on head still coming out but not so you’d notive really. Spoke to onc today and he said normal to have a little shedding but recommends I persevere which I will be doing. Scalp still feels sensitive which I think is usual when hair is coming out so if yours not sore thats a good sign. I would have thought it would have started to come out by now if it was going to mine started about day 15.
2nd FEC tomorrow will let you know how it goes.
Love caz xx
Hi Ladies
good luck to all with your 2nd shots tomorrowm, i had mine last friday and i have been so fortunate,OH made me a lovely smoothie last night, vanilla ice cream and baileys, i slept so well last night, My head was so so soreeeeeeeeeeeee but OH has shaved it all off tonight and the pain is a lot better, but my wig feels so much tighter without any hair,
I haven’t let him near my lady garden with them clippers though, im not that brave. ha ha,
We finished the daughters bedroom today it looks so good i want to move in myself,
She makes me so proud when OH shaved my head she came in and gave me a big hug and kiss and said you know what mum your still gorgeous without your hair,
I nearly cried,
have a good day tomorrow all
Shirl
2nd FEC today as bloods were fine. Beginning to feel a bit whacked out. Will see how the next few days go. Given some mouth wash for the sore mouth when it occurs again. Hair still coming out, but waiting until most gone to wear wig. Tried to wear towelling turban in bed last night to catch the hair but couldn’t keep it on. Perhaps it will be better when the hair has gone completely. Warned that my veins may not last for all 6 FEC’s so they might have to put a line in - hope not but we shall see only 4 to go!!
Hope you got on OK Caz.
Keep smiling all you other chemo friends out there.
Shirl that smoothie sounds lovely am quite partial to the odd Baileys ( or three ) so will have to give it a try! How lovely does your daughter sound - aren’t kidsjust the best!
Yes Pheebster it was a piece of @**?!.Won’t let it beat me.
Not posted for a while as life has been somewhat difficult with the chemo. Vein damaged after 2nd FEC. Trouble finding vein for 3rd FEC so Picc line put in which had to be taken out about a week later because causing clots in the vein in my upper arm and shoulder.This also meant 24 hours on a cancer ward at a hospital over 25 miles from home when I only expected to be there for an hour or so. Now have to inject Clexane everyday for next 6 months. ( the junior doctor who first told me about Clexane said it would be for life as I had cancer - the registrar said 6 months the following morning, but I had got rather upset and angry about the whole escapade.) More mix ups over appointments to put a Hickman line as given date before I left hospital but nobody booked me into the slot they had found. In theory off later today for 4th FEC but this might not happen until Friday if they want to put a Hickman line in. This means overnight stay in hospital and probably being whacked out over Christmas from the chemo - my poor sons. (The junior doctor rang me 4 times about this last Tuesday and I am still confused over what is happening this week.) Feel so alone in this situation as none of my friends with breast cancer who have had FEC under the same consultant had these problems.
Oh Hannah, what a nightmare time you’re having, so sorry. What a rubbish junior doctor and hospital. I hope you make a huge complaint about it when you’re feeling more up to it. Please don’t feel alone, everyone who uses this site is here to support and care about you. I hope that today goes well for you with no complications or additional factors to add to your stress and concerns. Feel free to PM or e-mail me any time.
