Hello Everyone I hope you are all keeping well as much as you possibly can. It is day 11 first round of post-EC for me. Day 1-6 was a blur with sickness and fatigue. I started to feel better from day 8. Still suffering from tiredness, sore mouth & throat, headache, and occasional sickness. I had my anti-sickness meds changed after I finished the steroids. Metoclopramide wasn't sufficient. Instead, I was prescribed Cyclizine Hydrochloride which works well. Paracetamol, Gaviscon & soda water are my best friends atm😆 I'm trying to go for a short walk every day, which some days is a giant effort but it is helping me. Someone mentioned in this forum that feeling like 100 years old. That is how I felt last week😂 After reading other people's cold cap experiences, I wasn't going to have one. However, when I arrived at the hospital, the onco nurse and this lovely care assistant had persuaded me to try it for the first time. I did use it and it was ok. I probably will use it again until all my hair falls off, which I already had it cut short. My second cycle of EC is 11th Aug. @Jennet I'm still doing my own food shopping and the visitors all take lateral flow tests before they visit us. Not sure about eating out yet. @veggiecaz I hope you will feel better soon. You will start seeing the improvement soon. How many cycles of chemo will you be having? Are you having pre or post-surgery chemo? I hope it will get easier and manageable as we all progress with our sessions. xxx♥️xxx
