Hi jo 77 I had a picc line put in day before my treatment started. It was fine bruised a bit but been ok. And you then dont hv to worry about needles or thinks as they just attache any think to the picc line. I hv to go to picc clinic every week to get it flushed out which is a bit of a pain as it takes 25 min to get there and then I'm in and out . I was given a waterproof covering for showers and baths but then I brought of Amazon some pretty picc covers to cover the bandage they give you.

Just got bk from seeing oncology doc have had 2 chemo got 3rd next Thursday 9th she was really pleased as said there is already a change and chemo was working. She also said I could reduce the dosage of steroids I hv to take after chemo as I suffer from a big dip day after I stop so hopefully that will help with my sleep and less crying. After next chemo I hv 3 week break as normal then I start on Carboplatin every 3 weeks for 4 sessions with weekly paclitaxel as well slotted in. So fingers crossed they dont make me I'll as hv been quite lucky so far. X

Hi anna45anna Hope your day improves. I had my 2nd chemo last Thursday. As soon as I got home I had some think light to eat then took a sickness tablet and that seemed to help. My down side is the steroids and the injections. They hv made me feel more down this time. But hopefully by sat is when I start feeling my self. We all seem to suffer differently but the lovley ladies on here all give out good advise. They hv helped me on my off days x

I finished my last nightly injection last night and this morning I feel like some one has kicked me in the back. I rang my emergency number and they said to just take paracetamol. Is this the norm just happens after last injection and does the symptoms last long or just for today. As was starting to feel a bit normal. X

Week a go tomorrow I had my first chemo session. But where I thought I would start maybe feeling ok. I feel like I'm drowning. I'm so tired and then get light headed. And then this horrible feeling like I cant cope and I just cry and just want to go bed and sleep but I cant. I feel so cross with my self I'm coming up 60 and I keep telling my self not to be stupid and buck up. But I had this feeling.

I got diagnosed with breast cancer in left breast. Before I found lump i had pain in my left arm i thought i hurt it lifting heavy basket at work. But now i have pain in my left leg in calf i can hardly walk on it when i get up been putting deep heat on it which helps a bit . Is this just a coincidence or would it be connected I'm due to start chemo at end of this week.
