Hi everyone
Well it’s been nearly eight years since I was diagnosed and seven and a half since I had docetaxel, at that time I was a pretty fit guy when I first had it, now I’m a lot weaker and suffer from a few other things.
The last time I was hit like a train wreck, mega hot flushes, hair loss, tiredness and fatigue, brown nails, joint pain and breathlessness, plus the chemo brain touch. Oh sepsis after my third treatment
There was a couple of minor things to like taste loss.
This has come about after my MRI where a few spots on my spine where found, not big but my enzalutamide is not working anymore, and there was a shadow on my spine maybe in my marrow, So I’ve been told ten treatments ( Hope I’ll get to see the euros ) and there is my update, I know about the pineapple to help with taste, temperature, eating greens and fish, plus pulses stuff like that.
Stay safe everyone I start this in two or three weeks.
Joe
