Does anyone else suffer from uncontrollable farting whilst on chemo? Mine seems excessive! Haha

  • Me again! We are in tune on this too, as I've been suffering similarly...its getting a bit embarrassing when I stand up and I pity my poor husband at night - not even got a dog to blame it on! 

  • We are so similar! I’m the same it’s embarrassing when I get up or walk up the stairs! 

  • Yup! A classic under discussed side effectRofl 

  • No, but incredibly burpy!! 

  • Hi

    I have terrible wind and indigestion.

    My tummy is really suffering with chemo, constantly bloated and i have a lot of constipation or diarrhea.

    Put on quite a bit of weight aswell due to the steroids.

    I have 3 rounds of docetaxel to go. I can't wait to finish chemotherapy its certainly not fun.

    Stay strong everyone, we will get there Muscle

  • I feel for you, sounds like you are having a similar experience to the one I had. It’s far from easy x
