Well my dear it sounds like
Well my dear it sounds like you've been through a lot of your journey already. Chemo is frightening.. but you will see once you get the first one under your belt you will do better. It's the "not knowing" that is scary. Not knowing the procedure and not knowing how your body will respond. My first two treatments I sailed right through, as many will tell you make sure you drink lots and lots of water. This helps your kidneys flush out those toxins. My final two treatments were a different story, I got nauseous. Just remember what ever symptoms you feel let your oncologist know, there are things they can give you to help you overcome your symptoms.
My sister came with me to my first two treatments, but after that I was on my own. My hubby worked and I knew I felt fine that I could handle things on my own. I really never got sick until about 8 hours after treatments, so driving wasn't an issue for me. You will find that the first 48 hours are the worst as far as energy loss. Then as each day goes by you should start feeling noticeable differences. After my first week I was just about back to my old self. My treatments were every three weeks and week two and three there was no stopping me. You will figure out your "up" and "down" days and you just need to plan accordingly.
The thing to be prepared for is your hair will start falling out around day 14 after your first treatment. I did scarves and baseball caps, with summer here you will probably prefer this option as well over a sweaty wig sitting on your head.
From your post, I can tell you have a great attitude and you will do just fine. If things pop up along your journey that you are uncertain of, post away... and you will get answers.
Good Luck Next week my dear,

I really appreciate your thoughts more than you know. I want to drink plenty of water, but I have wondered....can I drink green tea with ginger. I love it and I heard that I shouldn't drink it during chemo because ginger and green tea are both antioxidants and will counteract the chemo. I love green tea - coffee not so much. I want to do all the right things, so I can feel my best, so to speak. Also, vitamins and vitamin rich foods....avoid them or no, there is so much I need to know.
My husband will accompany me to my first chemo. I am so grateful. I am pretty much alone in this and he's been supportive. I have a pink beach bag packed up with goodies - prayer shawl from church, water/tea jug, pink neck pillow, puzzle book, etc. I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be. The sooner I start, the sooner I'll be done, right.
This board is a lifesaver for me. You have given me so much info and your kindness makes my heart want to burst.

Welcome!
And so sorry you found us, but we are here to support each other. This community helped me a lot!
I started like you. I was super scared! What drugs are you getting? I got AC/Taxol. I can give you a few tips that helped me: drink a LOT of water everyday, regardless; try eating very small portions of foods a few times a day (I did 6 times a day) - these must include fiber (e.g. fruits, beans for iron, dark-colored veggies like beets, kale, spinach, etc.); make sure to ask for stool softeners (I had serious issues with this),and take them; take all your nausea meds, even if you don't feel sick; sleep when tired; take walks and work your body, even at home; and call your Dr. if you notice any side effects.
Hair: like our pink sister says (above), day 14 it starts falling out, but everyone is different. Have a wig ready before this happens. You can wash your scalp with baby shampoo - I do, or something very mild. If you go outside, always wear sun-screen (on scalp and body parts exposed). I think it's best to cut it really short to be prepared. I didn't, and it drove me crazy. I wanted it all out!
I think you will do great. The fear of the unknown is worse.
BTW, if you are getting AC, be sure to chew on ice during the infusion. I did it and didn't get one sore. I have other friends who have done this too and didn't get a sore. Biotene helps too! always brush your teeth with biotene, because it has no alcohol and it's gentle with your mouth while doing its job. The mouth wash (Biotene) is also great!
We're here if you need us! Please keep us posted.
God bless you.0 -

I'm not sure about the green tea thing, but my oncologist made me stop taking my multivitamin. Didn't they go over your medication list and tell you what you can continue taking. With me it wasn't so bad as I was only on multivitamins and fish oil tablets. You are right about antioxidants, you don't want to interfere with your treatments. You can ask your triage nurses (the ones giving the chemo)about food and drink choices. But if you are currently taking multivitamins I would say to discontinue them a few days before you start treatment, it has something to do with vitamin E I believe. It might be in your best interest to just call your oncologist ahead of time to make sure you have all your bases covered. I know it's good to be healthy but herbal supplements can interfere with chemical ones.
I am sure more girls will give their input to your questions once they come back online from their holiday weekend. Just remember Debbie you are never in this alone, we will all be there with you in spirit and if you listen close enough you an even hear us cheering in the backround.

All I can add is..
Don't forget to take some mints or gum, orange tic tacs were my thing. And your ipod if you have one, sometimes you want a little snooze and the group in the infusion room may be a little rowdy that day. You'll be surprised by how fast it goes when you look back on it. Sure does seem like a long time when you are doing it.
As Lorrie said, take the meds, and ask for something if you are uncomfortable.
Good luck,

The hardest part of your first chemo....walking through the door for the first time....It's no day at the beach but is doable...chemo has come a very long way over the years......you have strength you didn't know existed, in you!
Wishing you the best, and you can DO IT!

The thought of chemo is
The thought of chemo is scary. I will be finishing my last round of chemo on the 7th of July. My treatment plan was 4 A/C followed by 4 Taxol every two weeks. It has not been nearly as bad as I anticipated it would be.
I have been fortunate to have little side effects. The A/C was rougher for me than the Taxol. I know everyone responds a little differently.
As everyone is saying, drink plenty of water. With the A/C, I felt a little queasy , but the anti-nausea medicine took care of it. Take the medicine the moment you start feeling a little nauseous and you should be fine.
I take food to snack on during the treatments. I have also had my husband go down to the cafeteria and get me lunch if my treatment falls during that time.
I am fortunate to have a private room so I usually watch T.V. and take a little nap until treatment is over.
As the ladies said, your hair will start falling out about two weeks after your first treatment. On my way home from my second treatment, I grabbed some strands of hair and hair came out. Instead of waiting for it all to fall out, I had my husband shave my head. I have a wig I have wore several times. I prefer scarves and bandanas. Losing your hair is not fun, but it is part of getting rid of this ugly cancer.
I would advise you to listen to your body. When you are tired, rest. I keep a "chemo" journal. I write down my symptoms, how I feel each day, etc. This helped me notice a pattern of my "bad" days. With A/C my bad days were around day 5 and 6. I was still able to do things, I just needed more rest on those days. With Taxol my worst symptom is bone pain, which seems to happen around day 5.
Good luck on your fist treatment!0 -
We're all different -
so there is no way that any one of us can tell you that 'something' will happen with you - we can only tell you with any certainty what we went through.
I did 4 dd A/C 2 weeks apart first. For me, A/C was not bad at all. Hair on top of head all fell out but not all on rest of body - about 1/2 of it did. I never had any nausea with it though I did take all my anti-nausea pills. (I was told that if you had no morning sickness then you probably won't have a big problem with nausea - I had no morning sickness at all with either Son.) The most inconvient 'problem wa that my nose and eyes ran like there was a spigot turned on. 2 days after infusion, I'd be a bit tired for 2 days but resting/napping took care of that. I lost all sense of taste and appetite. Never had any pain from the Neulasta shots either - just went to sleep 2 hours after injection - almost to the minute - for 2 hours after them. 2 weeks after last A/C I had surgery and then 3 weeks after it I started 12 weekly Taxol.
Taxol was nasty - was completely and utterly EXHAUSTED for the whole 12 weeks of it. Again though was never nauseaous with it either - I even quit tasking the anti-nausea meds 1/2 way through it. Rest of hair fell out. Could not get rested or sleep without Ambien. It was also different in that on A/C I'd stayed awake and read/watched TV/did puzzles - with Taxol though as soon as they started the IV Benadryl I'd go 'nightly night' til about 20 minutes before infusion ended so I got a bed for all of them instead of a recliner.
My temperature dropped quite a bit for it's new normal during that time - it still isn't back up to 'normal'.
Drink lots of water!
Different facilities are different. Mine gave you warmed blankets (it was winter time and I'm always cold anyway) They had crackers, fruit, soup, juice, tea, cocoa, etc. for you.
I also took myself to all infusions as I did not want Hubby or Son to have to sit there and watch me be 'poisoned' also it was a lot easier for me to relax by myself than if i'd had to be talking to them. The nurses had their cell number so if there had been any reason that they were needed or I needed to be taken home they could call.
Know i'm forgetting 'stuff' but that's about all I can think of now.

they also say chewing ice during chemo helps to stave off mouth sores and use stool softeners if taking zofran. keep up on the nausea meds before it sets in. claritin helps some with body aches. ginger is allowed as it has anti nausea factors. I wasnt told not to drink green tea but I guess with its antioxident powers it would make sense. We will be here almost everyone has a least one side effect they can help you with. the first one is hard as you dont know how your body will respond. but then you figure out what you need. We get through it some run some walk and some crawl but we get across that finish line!!0 -

Like the others have said--the hardest thing is stepping through that door for that first chemo. I was a wreck. I imagined all the bad things I'd heard about would happen to me--all at once. Guess what--none of them did! Okay--did I feel yucky for several days after chemo--yes, did I have a nasty taste in my mouth and most foods tasted terrible--yes, did I have a couple of days of bone aches and pains from the Neulasta--yes. But, honestly, that was pretty much the worst of it. I followed all directions to a T. I drank as much as I possibly could, tried to eat whatever I could tolerate, took Ibuprophen for the aches and pains and rested, rested, rested and pampered myself as much as possible.
Also, I was comforted by the statement my oncologist made--"I'm not going to go over the list of side effects with you. But, just know--whatever you encounter, I'll have something to help you with it--just call me." I went with this attitude and it really helped me stay focused, not worry and get through it.
By the way, I had 6 rounds of TAC.
Wishing you the best of luck--you'll be on the other side of this before you know it.

I agree with others, it's the 'not knowing what to expect' portion that often worries us the most. I have no idea why. But that was the craziest waiting for me... just getting started. I did the 4 A/C & 4 Taxol. EVERYONE IS SOOOO DIFFERENT. I learned that from one or two of the first post of mine that was answered on this very site. I too learned so much of how and what to do, just by asking questions here and reading. However, I was fortunate enough to be able to contact the Oncology Nurse whenever I had a question as well. My hubby & I had a one-on-one chemo with my Onc Nurse - a week prior to my treatment. I was given a binder with plenty of info on do's & dont's. I quickly found out that all oncologists have different ideas regarding eating, etc.
The wonderful folks on this site, convinced me early on to drink plenty of fluids (I normally don't)... but I followed this advise and it was EXTREMELY helpful. The nursing staff had lemonheads on hand and they helped a lot. My 8 treatments were not really extremely bad and I was thankful for that. I needed lots of rest and I think this helped a whole lot as well. I started out with wigs and ended up mostly with a pretty scarf when going outside.
I wish you the best and believe you will get through this and will be chiming in and giving your updates to help others along the way. Bless you0 -

I also did 6 rounds of TAC.
I also did 6 rounds of TAC. The docs had me take Ativan (anti-anxiety as needed) and decadron on Wed. Thursdays was chemo IV's, decadron, zofran, stool softener and laxative, claratin. Friday same as Thursday plus neupegen injection (had to do that for seven consecutive days.) Saturdays I stopped the decadron, but continued everything else. Sundays I only had to take the neupogin, and then I ususally needed to switch to immodium.
I'm not telling you all this to scare you, but to let you know that "chemo weekend" I was usually in a fog. There were just so many meds in my system. By Monday I usually started feeling better, then if I had a new side effect or whatever it always showed up on Tuesday. After that I started climbing out of all of it. I was on a three week cycle, so I scheduled stuff just before my next treatment when I was feeling my best.
That's my experience, yours may be different.
Here's my advice...be sure you have the phone number to contact if you've got a question during business hours and after business hours. Be sure to know what should trigger an immediate visit to the office and/or the ER. (I was told a fever of 101, get to the ER. No bowel movement for two days, get to the ER.) Know which ER is the best one for you to use. (I was told to go to the one a half hour away because they had an onc on call, not the nearest one.) Are there other ways to communicate with your doc if you have questions? Mine responds to emails really quickly. When should you talk with the onc, and when with the nurse?
I used a list to keep track of which meds to take when. Keep the warning label/description pages that come with your prescriptions, you may want to refer back to them. And I have a binder to keep track of everything.
It's been said to drink lots of water and I'll repeat it. I started hydrating two days before treatment, and kept it up for at least three days after. (I liked Smart Water icy cold, it has electrolytes.) Ask your doc about the green tea, some say no. But you've been drinking it regularly already so he might say it's ok.
For food, I liked the bland foods. Plain noodles, rice, plain baked or mashed potatoes, I also liked fried or boiled eggs, and stone fruits. I didn't even try to eat what the rest of the family ate, I ate what appealed to me at the moment. In my chemo class I was told to eat protein and calories. They also recommended carnation instant breakfast (now called breakfast essentials) and that worked well when I needed something on my stomach but nothing appealed. It helped me to avoid nausea by eating small amounts frequently, so I would snack 6 to 8 times a day. Smoothies were good too.
Please come back as you have more questions, and to let us know how you're doing. We'll help you get through this.
Hugs,

You can do this!
This site has what foods to stay away from and what to eat for nausea, blood count and such. Each doctor also has their own particular no-no's. Mine was ok with a little caffeine but adamant about no fresh fruit or veggie that could not be peeled.
The fear before the first chemo is the worst. The unknown is worse than what is.
Stay away from sick people, keep hand sanitizer in your pocket, unscented if possible. Make sure you have a clear path to the bathroom from your side of the bed. And always rest when you feel tired.
Hair loss you will get used to. Find a wig or hat or bandana that is comfortable.
Look into the "look good, feel better" class offered by the American Cancer Society. Awesome ladies put the class on. It will help you find a look you feel good about.
You can do this. Everyone here will help with prayers and hugs.

I was told no green tea, no soy products (tofu/soy milk/etc.) but that a small amount of soy sauce was occasionally allowed on food. No anti-oxidant suppliments ('fresh' garlic OK in cooking but no concentrated pills). No pomegranates. The suppliments i took with Drs approval were Vet D, Vet. B complex, and Calcium. 1/2 through Taxol I had to add Potassium as thsoe levels dropped to very low - 1 1/2 yrs after last Taxol I still have to take mega doses of Potassium to keep my levels up to low normal.

I'm adding my good thoughts and prayers for you as you go thru chemo. This site is a wealth of information, so, please ask the pink sisters if you have any questions.
Best of luck to you!0
