Hi Styliee62,

Welcome to Cancer Chat. I hope you’re getting on OK – it is of course natural to experience a range of emotions. We have some information on our website here about FEC-T treatment and side effects.

There is also another discussion on Cancer Chat here about it, which may be useful – although it is a few years old now.

Hopefully some of that is helpful, and I hope you get on OK with the treatment. Do continue to use this forum as much as is helpful for you.

Wishing you all the best,

Ben

Hi there, 

Im with you there. I had my first FEC chemo on 10th Feb. 
The first couple of days weren’t too bad then the side effects really kicked in. Temperature up and down, felt like I had the flu or hangover and nausea, no appetite. I think the 1st one is really scary as not knowing what to expect. I’m now into my 2nd week and feeling so much better and appetite returning. . I phoned the Oncology nurses at my worse a few times and they couldn’t be nicer. Next cycle I think will be easier to manage as I’ve written down all my symptons. 
Im with you, we’ll get through this and get rid of all those nasty cancer cells.
