Hi Karen, FEC the side effects for me was a lot of nausea's for about a week and my mouth was very sore ulcers and thrush but medication which got rid of it. Not everyone seems to have the same side effects. It takes about a week to get over the initial chemo, energy levels are quite low. I have my first T on the 29th January. Take care

i have had my 5th dose of 'T' and so far i have been fine. im having them weekly as i have a bone marrow problem and have to have regular blood tests to keep an eye on the white counts. i am experiencing some tiredness and a little nausea but really its doable and as long as you are kind to yourself and rest when you need to, its fine.

My diagnosis was invasive ductal carcinoma grade 3 triple negative I had a lumpectomy and sentinel nodes removed luckily it was not in my nodes. I had my last FEC on the 8th January thank god as the nausea's is horrible plus the many other side effects. I have my first T chemo on the 29th January 2015, I'm a bit scared as when I was having my last lot of FEC another patient had a allergic reaction to it.
