Sorry not to have been posting much recently- there hasn't been a lot to report.
The extra G-CSF drug drastically improved my health this cycle, and apart from still being a little tired, I have felt relatively 'normal' for the last 10 days. This has been brilliant and gives me great hope for the rest of the treatment.
HOWEVER........
They change my drugs totally this thursday, and I will move from FEC to Taxotere for the next 3 cycles. Apparently it is quite a vicious drug and I will need to take steroids for 3 days before the chemo, as there is a high risk of allergic reactions and severe sickness. Whoopee!
The extra steroids (I already take them after the chemo for a week, but this time will take them before as well) are likely to increase my weight gain as they increase appetite quite markedly, and of course I have not got round to marathon training yet, so am basically sitting on a sofa or lying on the bed for most of the cycle. So, my calorie burning potential is a long way from ideal!!
Also, any remaining hair is likely to disappear during this next round. I have very little left anywhere on my body, but am still clinging to my eyebrows and eyelashes, and would very much like to keep them!! Otherwise I have images of turning into a bowling ball!!

So, although I have a good idea what to expect over the next 9 weeks, some people react very differently to the two separate drugs- I might be better, and there again I may not tolerate it very well at all.
The good news is that I am now half way through the chemo treatment, and can start counting down from thursday onwards, which will be a huge relief .
