Chemo and the side effects

[Guest guest]

I stared chemo last month. I get chemo every 3 weeks. My first

treatment went quite well. I had a little queeziness but over all I

was ok. My problem is my second chemo did not go so well. I hurt all

over especially my left breast and upper arm (my affected area)I

couldn't sit still and felt just awful for the first 24 hours. I spoke

to my doctor who told me " just lie down it'll go away in a few days.

It's just the chemo. "

I'm getting adriamycin and cytoxin. I did all my reading on these

drugs and thought I was prepared. Before treatment I get Emend and

Kyrtril. At home I take Zofran.

I don't know if this is normal. When I talk to my doctor she generally

tells me " it's just the chemo. You'll be fine. just rest. " I feel so

overwhelmed. My doctor is very nice but I don't know if I should ask

her for other meds to help with the side effects or if it's just me

that felt so aweful and that I'm just being a cry baby.
