Female esophagel cancer sufferers

Thanks. I was concerned I would'nt be able to sleep

I'm on same steroids and dose as you

I have got some loose tops, comfy leggings etc. I shouldnt worry too much anyway. It's not a fashion parade!!

I made sure I took mine a few hours before going to bed so I wasn’t awake all night! Seemed to be ok 

Hi. Had 1st FLOT chemo session on Thursday. Thought I was going to be ok but was sick today & have terrible indigestion. Also got a sickly smell at back of nose. Managed to eat something though & started taking my odenestron anti sickness pills. Anyone any advice for relieving heartburn? 

Hi there. I get a lot of acid reflux and I take omeprazole and Gaviscon. I get the advanced one on prescription now and it seems to help. Glad you are not too bad after the chemo and you are managing to eat. Hope you feel better in the next few days. 

I'll ask doctor for something I think. The odenestron pills seem to be working so I can eat something. At lease steroids are out of my system so I had 1st good nights sleep for 3 days. What is best for constipation during chemo?

Hi Nan. What sort of treatment are you having?

Started chemo on Thursday. Not been so good these past 2 days. On FLOT chemo. How did you cope with it? 

Hi Kells. When I came back from the hospital they gave me a number to ring if I had any problems like constipation etc and they were really good. Have you not got any contact number there? Otherwise it’s probably best to ask the GP for advice before you take any medications whilst on chemo. I started on chemo but then had a very bad infection caused by a hole in my oesophagus. I had a stent fitted and now have a scan tomorrow before they decide on next steps. I have been feeling pretty well recently which has been great but there are so many foods I can’t have with a stent that eating is tricky. There’s nothing easy about this but I have just had a fantastic weekend with my daughter and that is a gift isn’t it?
