Well I hav3 just started Flot although not having T at present. I have a jejustomy in situ as my ability to eat is so poor. I am feeling very sick most of the time, the Odanesteron does help but first thing in the morning I suffer.
I had no idea what to expect but I've only had one cycle and I feel very ropey so don't know how I'm going g to manage another 3. I had a bad fall which knocked me for 6 just after finish day 2 of Flot. I'm struggling
Hi this chemo is not fun that’s for sure !! But you will probably find that after your second cycle you may be able to eat and use your jej tube less and less ! I had my second cycle just before Christmas and was so pleased that on Christmas Day I managed some soup and two spoonfuls of trifle by the time I finished my chemo I was not using the feeding tube at all !! Tricia
That would be good, I'm no fan of the jejeustomy! Guess I was a tad naive re chemotherapy
Well it affects everyone differently! I was very lucky as apart from blisters on my tongue horrible taste in my mouth and the neuropathy in my hands feet and legs oh and hair loss it wasn’t too bad lol xx
