My husband is a week on from his second FLOT which was delayed after low neutrophils. He’s using the four self jabs now.
He has always been able to eat even though it was difficult at times. After the first cycle he felt a general improvement in swallowing and was hoping for more improvement after the second but that hasn’t really happened in fact he thinks yesterday it was a bit worse with some pain which he described as around the tumour. He’s also coughing a great deal with a lot of phlegm. Have others experienced the same sort of pattern?
FLOT side effects have so far been very unpleasant at times but generally maneagable.
Thank you so much for all the support and advice here.

Chris is the same …… neuropathy seemed much better so he took the dog for a short walk and regretted it ….. fog and cold wind so his hands and face were painful despite being covered. I got my head bitten off for trying to help when he got back ….. it’s not me it’s him 
Haha yes it’s great fun 
Think they should keep all us chemo patients together so we can fight it out and send our partners on a well deserved break
