Flare Up

Hi JET1414 

I would have said its normal but depends what you mean by flare up. You are still early days and the treatment is still active inside you, I'm about 2.5 months post and for the most part I'm doing well but occasionally I have a blip. If you are worried ring your hospital and check i did first time i had a blip. Sending hugs. Xx

I'm last day of treatment and just started to suffer with skin soreness - had excruciating poops last week and we'll now I'm just trying not to overthink how bad the next few weeks are going to get. 

So whilst I've got no advice JET1414 I wanted to say thank you for sharing as it's helpful to understand the highs and lows of what's to come. 

I hope your treatment can give you advice and that this blip doesn't last too long.  You're so nearly there!

Congratulations on reaching the last day! It is so much easier not to have to go to the hospital every day. I felt so relieved not to have to negotiate that journey. Yes, I did have some tough days post treatment but at least I could stay at home and deal with it all. Remember that the treatment team are always at the end of the phone though.

Hoping  the next stage goes quickly for you.

Hugs

Hello Jane

That sounds awful, I had night sweats just after treatment (not the menopause, that was a long time ago) I wasn't exactly on fire but my nightdress was soaking and I had a most peculiar smell.  And it wasn't body odour, I put it down to all the drugs I was having.

When you think what you have had done to your poor body over the last three months and the multitude of drugs we have taken it is so difficult to know what is normal and what is not.  I am so pleased you are fine this morning, and don't forget you can always ring your team for reassurance if it happens again.

And I am delighted to hear too that you are mending well!
