Hello
I feel really embarrassed to write about this but I'm hoping I'm not the only one who has experienced this. I had my second FEC T chemo last week and as of the weekend I'm experiencing really bad wind!
I can't stop farting and they really smell too! I'm too embarrassed to go out or meet anyone. Any advice would be welcome on how to reduce this side effect.
Oh yes, both ends. They gave me Omezaprole for the top end - acid reflux. Seems to help the other end some as well. Xx

Yep that happened to me too on the AC part of my chemo. Got so bad that I stopped worrying about it and just told friends chemo made me fart and there was nothing I could do about it. They were all fine, although it did get a bit of a laugh. Didn't get the same with the T part of chemo.
Best

Hi Zam Zam
When I farted it was like the smell of a chemical factory. Horrid. Just used to say sorry about that. lol

OH NOOOOOOO
There is no hope for me then. I am already someone who parps rather too much. Have been known to wake myself up - I jest not!!
And tomorrow I start chemo. Joy upon joy.
Well at least now I will have a good excuse.
Whoops ..........Pardon me
