Docetexal side effects

I did with EC for about 2 weeks and my oncologist told me off. Said I should have phoned the red card after a few days. 

So are you finished with chemo or one more ? This time your symptoms lasted into the third week as well? You know what, I’m feeling my patience wearing thin as well and felt more down last few days even though my physical symptoms were slightly better.  We are almost done , soon this will be behind us. 

It can cause both constipation and its opposite. Thank God for movicol and hemerhoid suppositories … seriously, I must say, I still think hemerhoids are more painful … 

Yeah , I was told to call if I have 6 bouts … I had opposite though 

i am done,finished the 22nd and they say 2 weeks is likely to feel it so I guess i am on schedule. am hoping the annoying pain is healing signs but I think this is going to be hardest part for me. good at acute stuff bad at drawn out problems.

road to recovery 

I phoned oncology line and they told me  that loose stools are very common!

That’s why I didn’t phone before as I thought that too. My oncologist must be losing it! Think she was concerned that it had last so much of the cycle. Hope you’re feeling better soon! 

i had a day of omg rocks, then normalish then everyone out, but have had a couple of days of them, be aware if you have 4 u should contact team as u lose electrolytes, or try drinking sports drinks to replace sodium etc. 

thank you, slightly better today. hope u feeling ok
