I feel sad and lost. First chemo round of six under my belt and feeling pretty rough. 

  • Hello Dizzysheep,

    Welcome to the Online Community. I am sorry to hear that you are feeling rough after starting chemotherapy. 

    I have just replied to your post in the chemotherapy forum. 

    It may be an idea to have a look at the Bowel cancer forum as it can help to share with others who are facing similar challenges. There will also be people in the forum who may be undergoing the same type of chemo as you and who will be able to offer specific support.

    I can also remember feeling a bit lost and sad when I started my own chemo and this is understandable when facing a new treatment. We do have a Support Line available if you feel like chatting things through would help. The number and details are below. 

    I hope that you are feeling better soon. For me it was normally the first few days that I felt at my worst and by the following week I would start to feel better.
