Chemotherapy Update:





17th April Cycle 2





The most painful experience ever, what I should of done was use my other arm and give the arm I used for the 1st cycle a break, so my veins were in excruciating pain, and I could barely lift my hand up.

I could of cried, in fact I did have tears in my eyes, but felt embarrassed and told myself to fix up. Symptoms pretty much the same as last time, numbness, pins and needles, stiffness and pain when touching cold surfaces & cold water, a strange sensation in my throat when drinking cold drinks.





These symptoms lasted upto 2 weeks. I've also

noticed some changes in the palms of my hands, the soles of my feet and my face, they have become a lot darker due to the tablets. My natural pigment will return to normal once I finish my treatments which is good to know.





8th May 2015 Cycle 3





Treatment went well, a little painful which was to be expected. Used the other arm this time. Still experienced numbness & pins and needles. My mum was with me this time round, she had me in stitches, was wonderful having her there. I experienced a new side affect from the drugs when I got home. My calf muscles seized up so walking upstairs and around the house was fun and games. It didn't last too long a couple of days if that.
