Hi all
I was at the hospital for about 3 hours , I had 2 infusions there then had the pump put on my port which will come off tomorrow. My side effects so far have been that I can't eat or drink cold stuff as my throat gets really sore and you feel like you can't breathe ( not good on a 38 degree day). The other is that I've been very tired and had no energy today. I've still been eating well which is good.
My 4th cycle will be on Christmas Eve so I will have the pump on for Christmas day !!! I had a feeling that would happen. The family are having a breakfast this year for Christmas so at least it will be hot food.
Thanks again for all of your kind words.

I'm sorry you will have the pump for Christmas day, perhaps you could also have a celebration on New Years Day and have some cold foods for that?

Sending you more good wishes... :smile:

Hang in there, stay strong and you'll get through this. My thoughts are with you.

Hi all
It's been a week since my first chemo, I'm still feeling tired also had constipation and diarrhea !!! I had to go back to Centrelink and sort out my Sickness benefit (haven't got a payment yet ). It's strange to think that I won't be working for 6 months.

Best of luck and hope the side effects can be taken care of soon!
