Hi how's everyone today can't have my chemotherapy friday has planned got to wait 2 weeks my bloods are down so got to have iron and blood transfusion before has any one else had to wait 2 weeks
I'm on my last round now, 2 weeks on tablets then done yay!! Time to get back. to some kind of normality. Think it might take a bit of of time. How's it going for you?
Had 3 transfusions 1 for anemia hoping to start treetment this week got to see the oncologist Wednesday I think she's putting chemotherapy down for now I'm fed up but I won't giv up
Stick with it after my 2nd round I was ready to give up. But a break and lower dose sorted me out. Still not easy but not hell! My anaemia was due to tumour so blood stabilised and am still taking iron.
I started chemo in May, on last and 8th rounds.
I found I'd have a low point and didn't think I could do it. But you pick up and find the strength to go on. I'm discharged from oncology now and have a consultation booked with the surgeon in Feb. It does get you down. So many side affects. I find brain fog and fatigue really tough at times.
No, nothing obvious. Small bowel cancer is rare and hard to find . I had strange unexplained vomiting episodes every 4-6 weeks which ,then mild anaemia. Had tests etc but nothing found. It wasn't really until by blood count had dropped to a third of what it should be. I was hyperventilating just walking down drive , had to rest halfway up the stairs.I put it down to being on furlough for 6 momths. How I dragged myself around in 38 deg heat on Rhodes I don't know (nor did my GP)
