Hi I start my chymo on tuesday (16th) FEC T, and was just wanting some advice and suggestions of how to deal with it.
Hi Melly Mel
I am still only a novice at this as I have only had one FEC and have 5 more still to go.
I was very worried when I went for the treatment. I dont know what I expected. But the nurses and the others having treatment got on really well. We all chatted away. It was very informal.
It took about an hour and 20 mins for the nurse to inject all the drugs as they have to do it slowly.
I had a little headache that evening but was ok the next day - just felt a little nausea.
The hospital give you 3 days of anti sickness drugs to keep you going.
I will be thinking of you next Tuesday
Take care
Janvis
