Falls

Hi Vanessa
I fell three times during my chemo and herceptin treatments. The first two happened the same way - I had "squatted" down to pick something up off the floor, and I just rolled over and landed on my side on the floor. The third
time was a "trip". I just didn't get my foot up high enough on the steps and I wiped out - did a good job - split lip, 2 black eyes, and a broken nose. I didn't mention this to my docs. I thought it was from the fatigue, the stress, and the poisons being shot into my veins. I did mention the last one because my face was re-arranged and it was hard to hide. I think there could be a number of reasons for your falling. Good luck with your scans, and hopefully you are just clumsy
