Hi everyone, does anyone else suffer from cramps? I am particularly suffering in my calfs and side, from armpit down.

I'm drinking around 3 litres of fluid a day to flush the chemo from my system, could it be too much?

Just had my finial infusion cycle 5 of capox.

Radiotherapy prior to that

Take care and TIA

Hi Templeton Yes I remember having cramp for the first couple of days after my infusion especially when going upstairs. Perhaps you could try having a diarolyte or isotonic drink to replace any minerals that are getting flushed out with the water?

Congrats on getting through it tho - hope you’ve got something nice planned for after that last capecitabine tablet?

Take care

Christmas Dinner . Good idea on the isotonic drinks, I forgot I used them during the radiotherapy and they really helped.

Waiting for an operation now after speaking to the consultant at the end of this month I think will feel like an eternity but the 6 months "long regime " is almost over and I'm proud to be where I am now
