Hi there,
I cannot comment , but I saw your post and I just wanted to wish you all the best . Hope everything goes well for you x x
Hi CVS,
well done to you, thank you for keeping us posted, how long were the treatment sessions ? I'm having my tats on Tuesday and will be given my start date.
Good luck and big hugs xxx
I was put into emend on my second week as I felt so sick. They worked great I felt fine for the rest of my treatment.
drinking lots and lots of water too. Good luck with the rest of your treatment. 4 weeks will fly by..
Am on 3 days of dexamethasone steroids and anti sickness tabs called domperidome my chemo was hour and quarter and the rads it's only about 3 mins it take longer to get in the right position I have a tilted pelvis am feeling much better today been eating ginger biscuits and plenty of aloe juice x
Thats what I was on first.. I understood it that they give that as standard then if there is any sickness that's when you change to something a little stronger. Emend was brilliant for me. Totally agree about the radio taking longer to get into the right position. 1 30 was that with all the fluids too..
good luck.
I found all different types of fruit juice helped I felt that the sicky feeling came from feeling like I had a film all round my mouth. I couldn't stomach tea but loads of weird and wonderful fruit juice combinations were brilliant, I got wee juicer and a strawberry lime and mint concoction done it for me. Ginger and lemon tea always went down well too, and if you experience any cystitis a wee cranberry capsule helps too xx
Also what Helen said they can change the anti sickness as my specialist nurse did say I shouldnt feel sick for me it was more this horrible coating in my mouth which I think was from the steroids :) xx
Thank you lady's for your advice xxx
is it normal to start bleeding during treatment just a bit worried x
If I were you I would mention the bleeding as soon as you arrive at the hospital on Monday. Not that I think it's anything serious but it's simply that I haven't a clue and your team should be made aware of every little thing.
Be lucky :-)

I wouldn't bet on that one Tivoli I have an hour and 15 mins travel to the hospital as couldn't be treated in my local one. Would just like to say though I had my first chemo today and couldn't praise the staff enough I know its a long way to travel but wow are they organised and I do feel I couldn't be in safer hands which as a confidence booster thats great. I know things will get worse as the weeks go on but so far so good.
Keep positive ladies and good luck to all
I'm still betting on that one :-) I had to travel up on Sunday night and home again on Friday afternoon - total journey time between seven and ten hours each way. Stayed in a youth hostel during the week and the journey from there to hospital was two buses. And I still missed it when it was over.
Be lucky :-)
