Hi everyone started my second cycle last Friday had more side effects including indigestion and acid reflux do the side effects get worse the more treatment's you have got to go again on Friday dreading it any advice please. All the best Phil x
Hi Phil
I had really bad heartburn and indigestion it's the tablets that cause that. I don't think I got any worse after the second dose. Not sure about the third I didn't get there due to blood clots so they pulled me off it. Again phil, it's an individual thing some are worse than others. Trying to remember what I took for the heartburn etc . If I remember I'll let you know . If it continues really badly contact your CNS or ring the helpline
Best wishes
Mark
Hi Phil. We have seen many different reactions to chemo so it difficult to predict how things go. I was fortunate to get through it without any real problems. I hope your upcoming cycle goes smoothly. Best wishes.
