Weight regain

Should say 11 nodes.

Hi, I wonder if that is what has happened - your body has changed its requirements. I remember asking oncology if chemo continued to work for a while after stopping. They said that for my chemo, it was about 3 - 4 weeks. Chemo destroys good cells as well as bad ones, and I guess the body uses energy to try to replace those good cells, but whilst on chemo, you continue to lose these cells, so it’s no wonder we get tired! Now you aren’t in chemo and had surgery three weeks ago, things have changed perhaps. That’s just my guess, someone will likely come on with a more educated answer. 

Hi could I ask you how chemo was I’m due to start in a couple of weeks and I’m scared stiff , my tumour in my breast is around 5/6 cm and I’ve a couple of lymph nodes too that are affected have you any tips it’s the side effects I’m scared off .. Polly xx

Polly it depends on your treatment and how your body reacts to it. Unfortunately my body reacted badly so im not best person to ask.

Thankyou , what did they do to help you when you reacted badly .. Polly xx

They tried everything they could to counteract the problem. When that wasnt successful the treatment was stopped and went to next step which was surgery.
