Hi folks, I have completed my 4 rounds of chemo, and hoped that I would feel better. I do to some extent, but am breathless when walking any distance - upstairs, hills and my legs feel like lead weights. Will this improve?
Yes it should get better. I had 8 rounds of Chemo and what you describe is exactly how I felt. I am much better now although can still get tired easily.
Hi I’ve just finished 8 rounds of chemo the last one nearly 3 weeks ago , but like you I get breathless when going upstairs and legs also feel really heavy , I feel worse than I did but with different things I’m very tearful every day and dizzy which makes my health anxiety worse , I’ve got surgeon to see tomorrow about my MRI results, I just feel really out of sorts and so sad all the time , is this normal or is it just me x
in a way I encouraged that I’m not alone in these feelings. I am so keen in my mind to move forward and get back to normal, but my body isn’t letting me. It must be the after effects of the chemo. My last chemo was about 3weeks ago too.
Hi yeah I’ve only had one nosebleed but yeah nails are really discoloured with lines in them .. I’m going to get my MRI results today post chemo to see if the tumour has shrunk and to know the next step .. chemo was so hard , I’ve got neuropathy aswell , have you had your surgery , I had to have chemo first as my tumour is quite big it’s 6 cm , I also had a stroke 4 years ago so in a way still getting through that now the breast cancer emotionally it’s all a bit much for me to take in .. I just want to get back to normal too but I’m not even sure what’s normal now I had to learn the new normal for me after the stroke so god knows what my normal is now .. what is the next step for you x
