Rinaina - You will find that EVERY single chemo is different. I did AC/T+Herceptin. After my hair fell out on day 14 I was a mess. VERY depressed. I had one hell of a pity party for a weekend, then, back in the game. I cycled every other Thursday. On Sunday after chemo I was always depressed that day. The drugs. It is the only thing I can think of. I am not normally a depressed person at all. By Monday, I would crawl out of the hole, head into work and rally back in time for the next poison session.
You will get through it. You really will. If you ever feel that you can't, well then you get in touch with me or another friend that can talk you through it! The more you arm yourself with knowledge the better you will feel about chemo and your future.
I Agree with ideas listed above. Exercise!! It helped me tremendously!!!! It will help you with the side effects of the chemo. Other than that, listen to YOUR body. Your own inner voice. Take good care of yourself and your spirit. I will be available to you whenever you need me. E-mail if you would like my number. Take care and good luck with #2!!!!! - kim in minneapolis
