Hi guys, wondering if I will still need the steroids once my chemo stops and I am just having phesgo every 3 weeks? The steroids upset my tummy no end so have to have omezapol too, will this continue does anyone know?
That's interesting what you say about the omeprazole. I'm on lanzaprazole for indigestion started taking during chemo and have this last couple of weeks have tried to stop taking it and it has come back with a vengeance. Do you the phesgo contributes? I am taking tamoxifen and didnt know if it was that causing it maybe x
Hi, my oncologist thinks the chemo probably did me some damage. I too have tried stopping and it was not pleasant!
Interesting point about the chemo.doing damage. I didn't think of that. Was awake all night with indigestion last night think I might have to just have to start taking it again!
Thank you so much, will definitely keep the Omeprazole going for longer and worry about that at a later date!
