Can anyone tell me what the post chemo side effects are? I've got the final 2 sessions coming up, then a month to recover and then 5 days of radiotherapy.
Hi Hepi and welcome to the forum. Im sure that anyone could give you a long list of side effects but you may or may not benefit from that as some of them wont happen for you as they tend to be very individualised.
It may be easier if you wanted to know about specific side effects that are affecting you. Hope that makes sense? xxxx
Yes, I did in my hands and fingers for a few weeks after finishing my chemo. I still get icy cold feet my last chemo session was 31st Dec and my eyebrows are still shedding. I don't think there are any hard and fast rules if in any doubt have word with the nurses or your oncologist.
