Hi all
i thought it would be helpful to post here some side effects from my treatment which I finished on 13th May. I had daily chemo and radiation for 5.5 weeks, then very few side effects since then. But two weeks ago I started getting a pain in my leg, Turns out I have three blood clots below the knee which were caught early and haven’t traveled any further. This is a normal side effect. I’m now on blood thinners until Christmas. I also have a dry cough which sometimes leaves me breathless and need to rest when out walking. So if you have any of these, please mention them to your oncologist. Hope you are all holding up with various stages of your treatment.
Gosh as if you haven't had enough!! Thank goodness the blood clots were found. Hope you are doing okay xx
