I am nearing the end of my first course of chemo.Currently three days to second round, however,I am hoping it will be delayed as I am not coping well and cannot see myself coping with seven more courses. First few days not too bad but throughout have constipation and diarrhoea.However, cooking smells make me nauseous and eating is huge effort.As soon as I eat, i get heart burn with a pain in my sterum and then I get trapped wind and the pain just debiltates me. I know I am supposed to walk as that helps but when doubled over in pain, I cannot even get out of bed.
I now take Busgopan but have not had great results yet. In the past I used to suffer from IBS and also have a haitus hernia that were well managed by my diet, but the chemo has ruined all that.Does anyone have similar and can suggest a remedy?
