Morning all. I'm not a regular poster on this thread but read it often and emphathise and sympathise with everything everyone is going though. I'm half way through my FEC T chemo and I can't lie and say it's easy, but the good bit is that all that early uncertainty and waiting has gone. You know how many sessions you'll have, you are given the appointments in advance and mentally you try your best to prepare for it. FECT seems to be th most common chemo given to us ladies on 3 week cycles, though some have different drugs and some have it weekly. I think some of it depends on your Heath and other conditions you may suffer from. I have found the first week is not pleasant, I have suffered sickness and nausea (more in that in a minute) but after that it's ok, you gradually get better and stronger, then it all starts again. I'm day 9 now and went to see Spectre yesterday and am going to a Christmas fare with a friend this morning. Normal life can and does resume. Amanda, and those worri d about sickness th Magic drug to request is Emend. It is expensive apparantky and they don't just prescribe it willy nillu, but once you get it, it does stop the sickness. Sorry for rambling, I just want d to try and reassure those of you that ar starting to dread the next step. You CAN do it. Good luck all. Chris xxxx
