I am on my very last week of oral chemo meds. The past year has been rough, but this past month I've felt worse and worse. Had a emergency appointment with my haematology nurse today, bloods taken and a chest x-ray because of constant heart palpitations. Fingers crossed for a good outcome. I just want to feel more like my self ,sooner rather than later. Has anyone else had this problem?
Hi Lindylou2 and good to hear you are near the end of your treatment…… my Heamatologist told me that going through the treatment process (diagnosis, treatment and recovery) is like doing a marathon and a boxing match every day over all the months….. and this was done without any training.
Think about doing the London Marathon and boxing Mike Tyson without any training and you had to finish it as your life depended on it……. this is the journey you have been on so it most likely will take much longer than you would think to get back to some normality.
Other health issues can unfortunately come along, be it nothing to do with your treatment journey or as a result of your treatment.
Back in Oct 2015 I had reaction to one of my meds I had during my second Allogenic SCT resulting in developing A-FIB…… it’s now part of my life and does not stop me doing the things I want to do.
