1st chemo what to expect for any side effects
Good mornin' to everyone,
I just had my 1st chemo and it will be my 4th day.. thanks God that I am doing well no SE this is my 4th day and it seems that I am quite feeling tired is this one of the SE and also
I feel sluggish so I just rested for a while.. my stomach seems not in good shape but tolerable. I have my 1st chemo FEC- and my next will be Nov 5 Is there anybody who could help me what to expect for my 2nd round? right now only stomach upset I have .. thanks for reading my letter..
Hi -Take a look at our FEC FAQS, if you haven't already. I did FEC; and found that the only cumulative side effects, ones that seemed to develop as time went on, were 1) hair loss; and 2) mouth sores. I didn't feel progressively fatigued, or more nauseous, or anything like that. Of course, we all have our own side effects; yours may be different. Readers, anyone else who's had FEC - can you share your experience here? Thanks - PJH

Your hair probably won't start falling out for at least a couple of weeks; mine took (as I recall) between 3-4 weeks, after the first treatment, to finally disappear. Sluggishness, fatigue, queasiness - all normal (normal for chemo that is...). Stay in touch - we can help. PJH
thanks for answering me right away.. it's just I noticed that as if I am bloated or something else with my stomach.. and there are times it seems I am hungry well hair loss I still have hair and it's my 5th day today.. it just sluggish and not tired but quite fatigued. I have lots of question to ask but my mind doesnt work just tired maybe . I will get in touch again thanks soo much PJH
