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.

hi
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.
Im yet the have the FEC part …how was it x
