Lisaloo,
I did MVAC and the first two weeks were the toughest for me in regard to being sick; after that we had the meds figured out and I was OK; it was the second week that I noticed the pain in the soles of my feet, sometimes they were so tender that it hurt to walk across the room, even on the carpet...I found if I wore some very well padded socks that it helped relieve some of that discomfort...that pain for me would come and go...I was wearing flip flops when I had to leave the house but now with cold weather on us, that wouldn't be a good option...anyway, I think it was the Cisplatin that brought those discomforts on...try to be patient with yourself, realizing this too will pass.
Also my scalp got very tender on day 15 after starting chemo and shortly thereafter my hair fell out...that was awful...happened last May and now it has grown back in so very soft and lovely and thicker than before and curly where I have always had very straight hair. And my fingernails are much stronger than ever before.
A friend of mine refushing to call the Infusion room by it's name but rather says she is going to the "healing Center" so she tells herself she is being healed from cancer. That is probably a good mindset to have. It was hard for me in the first few weeks, and I would get down right nasty about going...but then I realized I wasn't helping myself with that attitude and changed my mindset by starting out with a prayer...asking God to give me acceptance of whatever medical procedures that were needed, and it helped. Take care, things should improve for you. I know they will.
Later you will look back and be amazed at your strengths. Melodie
