Hi all, I haven't logged in for a while. Hope everyone is doing well (or as well as could be expected). I'm having FEC number 4 in a week, so this is my 'good' week until Friday. I know most people are on the FEC-T regime, anyone having just FEC and able to tell me how number 4 went in comparison to previous ones? I had a shorter recovery time with number 3, apart from the taste disturbance which lasted a week (I think this is the worst side effect for me). The omeprazole I requested after session 2 seemed to help avoid any stomach disturbance. I am still awaiting a referall for Genetics testing, apparently this has to be referred to a london consultant. Its been a tough period for me recently, on top of everything, my 3 month old daughter was diagnosed with a heart condition that may need key-hole surgery at some point, still waiting for her referall too. So I was grateful for smooth ride with the third chemo session, I had to drag myself to her hospital appointment on Day 5, in a somewhat dazed state. I'm counting down the weeks till chemo ends (15th Sept if all goes to plan) so I can focus on the next stage, Rads and regain my strength. All the best for a healthy and positive weekend ahead x
