Hi Terri
I had 4 FAC and I remember that it wasn't too much fun.
I had lots of nausea but did not vomit. I was very tired
and my white cell count was very low. My onc. asked me
to stay home, avoid crowds and I was often put on anti-
biotics as a precaution.

The constipation was severe. My chemo nurse told me that
it was caused by the kytril I was taking for nausea. Once I
had the "routine" figured out, I was okay. I took 2 Senekot S
in the morning and 2 more before bed.... and drank lots of water.
I started this the day of the treatment and continued for 4 days.
Keep on top of this because it can be pretty nasty.

I would have the treatment, have two good days, and then the
nausea and fatigue would start. I remember feeling quite good
the week before the next treatment. And my hair fell out three
weeks after the first treatment.

You will get through this.... you will find a way. Take good care
of yourself and get lots of rest.
