Advice

Mecca my nausea went away after the first week of chemo but bizarrely returned for about 1 month about 6 weeks post treatment. I wouldn’t feel nauseous every day but it was on & off. I mentioned it at one of my Oncology appointments he didn’t seem concerned ( I thought it meant something was wrong), he advised me to continue to take the anti nausea tablets I’d had during chemo which I did. The nausea then went away. Our bodies have been through so much, this treatment is very very intended and it does take it’s toll on our bodies. I had a backwards slide at the 8 weeks post treatment mark in relation to anal soreness but then that began to improve. I think it’s normal to have ‘dips’ within the recovery process, I know I did and others on here have also experienced this. Remember it’s still early days for you in your recovery. Hope this helps.

Ps very intensive not intended! Bev. 

Aww, thank you Bev it really does. Sometimes I think I might be imagining feeling ill and I'm really just being stupid and lazy.  Xxx

Mecca  You come across to me as insightful & funny, not stupid or lazy!

People (including me) like to imagine that healing goes in a straight line but that’s never been my experience & certainly not in the 6 months since treatment  xx  toni

Thank you toni that means a lot xxx

Mecca  It’s about the basics, isn’t it - upsy downsy.  Fall down, get up  xx  toni
