Hi everyone, firstly Thankyou for being there when I felt so low I really am grateful.
Finally the Ondansetron worked it's magic AND the Oncologists stopped the Capecitabine completely till next Cycle on 10/7/25. So I've had a chance to normalise again ..it's been lovely. The stent ( or as I call it the Alien) has settled, I do have continuing discomfort from it though and would love to hear if anyone else has one of these and the challenges and benefits it gives.
So I'm just enjoying my time at home and psyching myself up for Cycle2 next week.

Hi Pepperpot, glad you are feeling much better. Odansetron worked for me too. I don't have a stent but I do have a trach tube which also took some getting used to and won't be permanent but after a while it just becomes a minor discomfort that happens to have saved my life. Feeling low and ranting is normal in our situation. Don't worry and have a great evening.

Glad you are more settled. They should adjust your dose next cycle and it can make a big difference. Have a good week of rest.
Minmax lovely to hear from you and glad steroids is helping you. Take care xx
Yes I've been told that for Cycle2 they will reduce the dose , that's next week so I'm hoping it won't be awful.I had little side effects from the Herceptin and Oxalyplatin so I'm ready.
