TC - rollercoaster ride

Hi everyone,

I’m 30 years old, new to the forum and I’ve just started chemo. I had my first of 4 TC treatments (with Neulasta) 11 days ago. Over the first 8 days i’ve been slightly nauseous, fatigued, wide awake in the middle of the night, had oral thrush, and had achy muscles and bones. Fun fun fun! But in the last 3 days I’ve felt 110%, which is gold.

Just wondering… am I likely to feel rubbish again before my next treatment, or is the worse over?

Also - fingernails… should I use dark nail polish, or nail hardener? They’re mutually exclusive. I’ve received conflicting advice.

I’ve also been taking Synarel (an ovarian suppressant) for over a month now, and havent felt any menopausal symptoms. If I havent had them yet, am I likely to get them at all later, or am I just lucky?

Cheers!
Kate
