Flatulance

I remember when I was walking to the shops one day through an alleyway and blew a real shocker, just as it happened a poor old lady pushing her shopping trolley passed me by going in the opposite direction. After I had taken a few steps I sheepishly looked back behind me and saw this dear old thing leaning against the wall checking her shoes to see if she had trod in anything. To this day I still can’t help but laugh every time I think about it.

Morning Well that made me laugh I'm blame my yorkies or  my  partner for the sweet fragrances lol.

    So  on a lighter note im having my 3rd chemo  today  yahooo  so the miserable grouchy emotional  person comes out.

That's how I describe how I feel  after.

Big beautiful hugs  all xxx

Sounds like a fun label "MGEP" .

On a more serious note, hope chemo goes well today for you

Hello

I suffered from evil farts whilst on my chemotherapy drug. I know I was given something for it and it was caused by acid low in the stomach.

Can't remember what I was given but it worked. Also had demon burps at the same time. Sorry I'm not much help. Ali x

Hope all went well today.

Morning all my weekend was just in pj's I was so tired and I decided just to let my body rest let the sun come through the window on to my face,I may have over did it from Wednesday chemotherapy.

I've slept not sure if after each chemotherapy side effects get worse.

Big beautiful hugs to all  xx

You are not alone. Hubby was very windy after his op, mainly due to being on a low residue diet which didn’t agree with him. He is now 3 months post surgery and is so much better now, it just takes time. X

Oh Flower123 - I am so in same boat. This cycle hit me today - currently hiding under duvet.

For me the side effects have not been linear. Each cycle is a surprise as to which side effects, severity and duration. Think i may be about to call bingo on experiencing the full range though.

Hoping my cycle impact passes swiftly and hoping you've bounced back now.

I felt so ill when I was having chemo/radiotherapy, that sometimes I could not even bother to see or speak to my many friends.  I have always loved life, always was so outgoing, always having a laugh.  I love my family and friends and have always been there for them, and they have  been there for me throughout my illness.  To be honest I was really  overwhelmed by the flowers and cards I received, wishing me well when I was first diagnosed. (I thought I had died and gone to heaven) I must say unfortunately when I was so poorly I just could not be bothered with anything really, I tried hard to be positive and cheerful, but it was hard.  Since my op last October, and I have recovered and feeling well, people tell me "They have got me back", I know I was not the same.  Like you say having cancer makes you think about life.  I had cancer 20 odd years ago, but in the womb and after a hysterectomy I was back to normal.  This time I think it was worse, because I had to have a stoma, but I have accepted it now, and its not the end of the word. I think when we have cancer we realize how fragile life is, we just never know what is around the corner, but my faith has helped me through it and still sustains me.  

I do hope that you are doing well, and try not to worry too much about the flatulence, unfortunately it happens to me and there is nothing I can do about it, I just think we worry too much, and other people would hardly notice it.  Have you tried charcoal tablets, someone said they help, but I do not know myself personally.  I am not going to let it to get the better of me, and if it happens when I am somewhere,  I will just say "Excuse me, I have a stoma and cannot help it"  if they cannot accept it, thats their problem.  I am not being flippant because obviously, its making you feel uncomfortable, so have a word with someone medically qualified, I am sure they would be able to help.

Also in your comment you say you cannot concentrate, nor could I, I used to love reading, but could not be bothered to pick up a book, now I am back to reading again, so I am sure you will be to.

I worked in a Doctors surgery for 25 years, and loved every minute of it.  (Husband and Wife Dr's) not like todays surgeries, we cared about the patients, the Dr's knew every patient without even looking at their records.  So I saw many patients who suffered with cancer, but its not until you have it yourself that you can relate to them.  So when I had my first cancer, and went back to work I understood more of what they were going through.  We had so many patients that looked so ill, but fortunately made good recoveries, so having cancer does not always mean a death sentence, so you keep your chin up, Even behind the darkest cloud there is sunlight until evening when even behind the cloud there is the promise of another dawn.x
