Side effects of chemo

Think you should speak to one of the team - I assume you are speaking to someone weekly? Don’t ignore the symptoms because they are able to sort these quickly.

 I had to work through a lot of different drinks during chemo as your taste does change - couldn’t bear water at one point!

Thanks for your reply, I have spoken to my team, I think they must be fed up of me.. I’m gone on to lucozade today, give that a try, I’m fed up all ready and only 2 chemos in 

You will get there !

Glad you spoke to the team - they won’t be fed up of you. It’s always best to check. Better than leaving things to get worse !

 I tried Coke Zero but left it to go flat. Went off coffee, orange …….

 I think the only thing left was tea and ginger biscuits - they help with nausea.

I never know what’s best to have seen as I’ve had loose bowels since I started chemo in January, not even loose just water, today I feel weak and so tired  

Sorry you are suffering.

Hope you are having weekly checks - either at your chemo appointment or phone calls from a nurse/doctor. Sounds like you need to reinforce your symptoms to them and make sure they are hearing you. My team were amazing and wanted to help so I hope yours are the same.

But I did suffer weakness and tiredness too - it’s all part of the process.
