I had my first dose of chemo yesterday I didn't feel ill but not amazing either. I expected to feel buzzing after steroids but I didn't feel better until the evening. Today I don't feel well either but nothing I can put my finger on. Surely the steroids should have me in house cleaning mood. Have taken anti-sickness. No temperature.
It was a rubbish day yesterday my stoma bag burst when I arrived for chemo I was covered my clothes and shoes had to throw away support wear as full of poo. Had chemo in two hospital nighties back to back cod of split and a blanket round me. So delayed by forty mins. Good job was in a car.
Hubby was great and so were nurses but today hubby expects me to feel okay because of drugs. I don't. Should I?

Hello Lily Anne,
Sorry to hear about your traumatic day yesterday that must have been difficult to deal with! I find that I feel very strange in the few days after Chemo I have described it as "other worldy" or "out of body" I feel like I am there but not there it's very strange to be honest! My sister is not long finished Chemo for Breast Cancer and she said that she was like a duracell bunny for the few days after but I haven't felt like that! I have taken to assessing how I feel when I get up in the morning and working with that for the day, one day at a time as they say!!!! Take it easy on yourself!!!!
