Too good to be true

Less than one minute read time.

Just out of hospital, made the mistake of saying to anyone of my friends that would listen that the  chemo wasnt as bad as had expected.  What happens?  When immune system is down get an infection and kidneys pack in, luckily was at hospital for something else and it was found in a blood test, had no symptoms of kidneys not working properly, has anyone else experienced this.  Doctor at hospital said chemo may be reduced in next treatment, have to say it has frightened me as it was just my first chemo.

    Hi Marion,

    Never ever take this Cancer lightly,it will always come  up behind you and bite you in on the Bum just to let you know its still there. Even with chemo.

    So if you notice a change in you body however small

    take yourself off to the Hospital. All the Best.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

    Hi Marion,

                    So sorry to hear that you experienced kidney problems after chemo. If it was due to infection then hopefully, once its cleared, it won't happen again. Don't worry if your chemo is reduced next session. It will still be doing good but will not be so hard on your system and it can always be increased at a later date. The path of cancer treatment is not a smooth one, there are always ups and downs. Fingers crossed you are due for an up!

                  Take care and feel well,

                            Love lizzie xx
