I’m 9-10 days post first chemo, had absolutely NO vomiting or loose stools first week and then day 9 it hit me like a tonne of bricks, didn’t have time to take my antisickness because it just came over me all of a sudden :( 

I don’t understand why it’s happening in my second week, I thought the second week was like no symptoms and your body’s chance to just have a break. Feeling so sad at the moment it’s just so hard.

  • Hi Chloe, I’m sorry you’re feeling so unwell, I suppose it affects everyone differently, stay strong, hopefully your body will get used to the treatment and side effects will lessen, you’ve got this xx 

  • That’s what I thought as well, week 2 is about feeling better. What I see so far is the body starts to recover by the end of week two, so can’t count of feeling ok for this whole week. Just hang on there. Pray

  • Thank you Hearts️ how are you finding stomachless life?xxx 

  • Thank you! I feel a lot better today, had some weetabix and toast Relaxed️ no issues so far!xxx

  • Hi, I’m doing ok thanks, on a lot of vitamins as apparently your body can’t retain the nutrients, but on the whole things are better than expected I’ve lost around half a stone but doing everything I can to mitigate this, regularly eating small meals and having snacks in between.

    Keep with it mate, you will get there x
