My infection markers ain't massively high but standard treatment is IV antibiotics and fluids. Been given an injection to boost my White cells and won't get out until my neutrophils are above 1.0.... They were 0.3 on admission lol so couple of days in I think xx

Marli my tum has been the opposite... Feel really bunged up but trying to eat lots of bran flakes etc the first lot I dunno what to expect... Lol the joys eh?? I have IBS so my tum can be unpredictable anyway! Losing my taste is crap too! Had my tax on Wednesday... I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop and have the pain everyone else has said they get... Don't wanna be led into a false sense of security!!! Xx

Hey marli 🙂 yeh I'm still waiting for the bad side effects to hit... My tummy has been uncomfy, my mouth feels horrid and have bad acid reflux but apart from that I feel ok. Starting to get pains in my back, and legs but regular paracetamol keeping that at bay 🙂 I will be on herceptin and perjeta after my 6-8 sessions of taxotere until they stop working (fab!) xx

Got my sky+ box full lol Well done to everyone who's started and a good luck to those getting first round today or tomorrow! We can do this!!! Lots of love D xx

Hmm depends on your veins, I was told likely in the forearm where it's harder to knock etc xx

It's like a port they put under your skin on your chest which is really good to give the chemo through. It's practically invisible and in that way better than a PICC line xx

Hey everyone I was diagnosed on 12 Jan and start chemo on Tuesday 3 Feb! Whirlwind isn't even the word. I am 32 and single with no kids but a bunch of awesome friends! Got my pixie cut yesterday in prep and still undecided about the cold cap since I am a migraine sufferer anyway - dunno if it's worth it! Need to get my pre chemo shopping done (pineapple and ginger nuts) lol xx

I'm due my first session of chemo (taxotere) on Tuesday, had my appointment with the doc on Friday and they didn't mention steroids.... I think I better call them on Monday morning and make sure I don't need them!
