Hello. Following surgery, including a temporary stoma I was given Capox as a treatment because some lymph nodes were carrying. I really didn’t process the Capox well. The nausea and sickness became intolerable and I simply couldn’t eat and had very low (28) kidney readings. The treatment was stopped 11 days into the 2nd cycle ( 4 should have been taken.
On the week off at the end of cycle 1, my appetite came bac much more and the nausea stopped. I’m currently 6 weeks post chemo being stopped. The poor appetite and the nausea is still with me, and I’m being physically sick ( not every day) on good days I can eat around 1/10 of my usual food intake, I can manage around 3 forkfuls at a time. Can anyone shed any light on this? It’s seriosly affecting my everyday living and I’m feeling pretty desperate. Why was it ok on my first ‘week off’ but so bad now, and I’m 6 weeks post chemo. Has anyone experienced this? Can anyone suggest a way forward? Thank you so much.
