Hubby started cycle 1 yesterday. Feeling rough this afternoon but meds helped.
Hes developed hiccups today which is tiring and a very sore throat. Is this common? Sorry to keep asking questions but you don’t know what you don’t know until this starts
Thank you
Geraldine
They say it works by the heat of your body !! I’m nearly always cold so maybe that’s why it didn’t empty,,
I have a fatty liver but said as long as it didn’t get any worse it’s ok !
In which case I must be "hot stuff" then!! Lol
Well that was what I wanted to say but didn’t know you well enough lol
Glad things are not too bad so far Tricia. You seem to be doing really well.
Chris struggling with reflux and swallowing problems today. He’s been able to eat with care until now and it got easier again after cycle 1 so he’s feeling a bit down. I’m hoping it’s just the nasty little bottle of poison still with us that’s causing the problem.
Oh hope he’s feeling better this morning funny how we all get different side affects but hopefully they don’t last long ! After not getting any sleep the night before last for some reason I flaked out last night ! I get a phone call from a oncologist the week after my chemo if it’s no better mention it to them when they phone, I must admit being able to sit and eat a meal has made a big difference to me although I’m very cautious about what I eat incase it doesn’t go down.
sending hugs Tricia x
Glad you got some sleep it does help. I think we’re in for a rough few days. He struggled with coffee this morning it brought on the hiccups he had last time. I think the return of reflux and swallowing issues are a side effect of one of the drugs so will hopefully subside over time.
