Hi folks I was wondering if anyone can give me any info..I finish my chemo tablets tomorrow after 4 cycles of chemo and want to ask if there are any side effects or withdrawal symptoms I should look out for
Cheers

Hi and well done! Have you found them ok? I can’t say that I suffered any withdrawal symptoms other than relief that the chemo was finished and the picc line was gone. I’d had a tingling feeling in my feet and the nurse said they were red and I wasn’t to have my last session and my feet did get a bit worse after that but there were no other new side effects.
Hope you’re doing ok and are having a nice treat to celebrate
Take care

Hi Karen and thanks for reply. I didn't have any side effects from chemo or tablets apart from slurred speech 30 mins after last chemo session but seemingly that is one of the more rarer effects it didn't last long but had to get CT scan in case of a stroke (all clear)
