Ok, after 19 fractions of RT, last one tommorow, all going semmingly well and I feel fine, had blood test yesterday, and got called tonight, to go to A&E immediately, and get an IV for pottasium, also on HT, looking around the Internet, which isn't always the best thing I know, it suggests prolonged enemas can cause this, anyone else have any experience of this
Hello Aubutied1c171
Thank you for your post.
I've not read or had anyone else state the lack of potassium in their body is due entirely from the enemas given for radiotherapy.
I know from very personal experience it can be caused by CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) and I am also aware that diarrhea or being sick on a regular basis can also cause the problem.
At least you have a good team looking after you and they have got you sorted. Thank you for bring up this potential issue.
Best wishes - Brian.
