Hi guys,
I hope you’re all doing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. My treatment ended yesterday, I was so relieved, this forum has helped me lots with all your tips and advice, I am very grateful for that.The sitz bath has definitely been my best purchase. I am currently finding weeing very painful, I wee into tepid water which certainly helps and I know that if I drink lots the pain eases too.
I’m not really taking much pain relief but I have it if I need it as I understand that my symptoms may get worse before they get better, I certainly get extremely tired. I missed some of my chemo tablets as my platelet levels were low for a short time during my treatment, I’m hoping this doesn’t affect the end result.
Take care everyone, whatever stage you are at, if I can do this anyone can.
Kindest regards, Adele. Xxx
Morning Irene,
Thank you for replying to my post, your previous posts have been very helpful to me too. Kindest regards, Adele. Xxx
Hi Chrissie,
Thank you for posting, I hope you are all recovered now and enjoying life how you should be. Best wishes, Adele. Xxx
Hi Angie,
Thank you for replying to me, I hope things improve for you very soon. I realise that my symptoms may worsen so I do have the necessary pain relief if/when they do. I had awful pain before my treatment started, due to where my cancer was positioned, so I suppose things have been a bit different for me.
Kindest regards, Adele. Xxx
Hey Adele - I remember and have been worrying about how you are getting on x I havdy been so shocked by the side effects for me that I can’t bear to think anyone else has been hurting too x
We are all so different and that must be what makes it so difficult to say what’s “normal” x this support group is priceless for that! Xx
Take care x sending positive wishes your way x
