Hi does anyone suffer with bloating after taking steroids for the 2 days after chemo ?
I feel Huge and uncomfortable also my arms chest and neck feel bruised.
Thanks you x
Hello Yme,
I experience similar where I keep burping, also contributing to nausea. I also bring out bitter saliva when burping so is very horrible. I will contact GP tomorrow. Online research suggests semithecone but with our cases we have to go through GP and oncologist rather than just getting over the counter drugs.
I hope you get some relief soon.
