Hello

Has anyone experienced their legs feeling weak at times throughout their treatment?

  • This is so strange. I had my first session on Wednesday and today feel like my legs are going to give way. Also having occassional funny feeling in them and also in my chest. Is this normal?

    I can’t explain the discomfort in my chest. It’s not really a pain or tightness and I’ve no shortness of breath but it doesn’t feel like heartburn either and I get this a lot. Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Keely

  • Thank you so much for sharing with me.

  • Yes I had weak legs and muscles all over ! Sometimes I would go to stand up and my legs would turn to jelly ! Hope you get through your treatment okay !xx 

  • Thank you for replying, hope you got through it ok?

    As I am so new to it I don’t know whether to report changes on the 24 hour line or not as they are manageable. Or just mention them next week when I go? And continue? Xx

  • I found it really hard to know when to report stuff or when I should be phoning the nurse or the cancer line so I never phoned them unless it was an emergency but looking back I wished I'd phoned the nurses more for advice as I've had a lot of unanswered questions so if you have anything you want to ask just phone them! That's what they're there for! Hope you get through your treatment okay ! Good luck!xx 

  • Thank you!

    Only had 2 sessions so far so it’s all new to me. Only just starting on the year long journey so still seems like forever away the finish line!

    Good luck too xx
