Hi ladies. I agree that the personal touch made all the difference when I was having my first chemo on Friday last week. I had a nurse with me the same one all day and it was lovely having that personal attention. Obviously I know this will change when I go to DOC in 2 cycles time. The injections every day are OK too. I can do them with ease now. Just choose a different side each time. It hurt yesterday as if it wasn't in the right place so I just lowered it a little and it was fine. They are doing their job as had my bloods checked as was admitted overnight Tuesday as I had a low temperature and bad stomach pains. I was out later in the morning. They said that my levels were really good so to keep doing them. I've been left with terrible heartburn which is really painful. I've taken a bit of gaviscon (but it made me feel quite sick) so it has eased it a little bit. I finally managed to sleep last night so don't feel as bad today as I have been. I've decided to just keep snacking during the day, avoiding big meals as that isn't helping. I'm forcing squash down my throat as I hate it usually but I keep being told to drink lots of water. I'm a real tea freak usually and never drink water. Hope everyone is doing OK today. Good luck to everyone xx
