About TUnners1

Hi TUnners, It is a very hard journey. On day 6 of chemo they could not give me the treatment. Blood tests were not good and I was really anaemic. I had an all day blood transfusion and then IV antibiotics. We're all so different. I had a severe adverse reaction to the steroids they give you before the IV and almost every side effect possible. It was horrendous and am still recovering. Perhaps have your haemoglobin levels checked as that will add greatly to fatigue if it is low. Have someone else make you a cup of tea if you can. Right now you need to build your strength, rest and be ready for next cycle. Ask for help if you need it. Often women struggle to ask for help and you can't do that right now. I wish you well on your journey.

Hi I am terrified. I am requiring 35 sessions of Radiation and Chemo. I was all accepting of the Radiation and powering forward ready for this MONDAY. Then I had a meeting with Dr Chemo and he scared the living daylights out of me. I was told I was having a light Chemo to accelerate the radiation but it seems it is much more than that, and was going to be having it every day, as I live out in a rural area that is difficult as is I am doing 140km tound trip as it is for Radiation. Now I am having A Bigger blast as he put it once a week - he will see how much it knocks me around? The goal posts keep changing. My question is how do I ask for a second opion at this late stage??????? ME very scared
