I am stage 3 & have just had 2 weeks of radiotherapy & 2 chemo sessions. The chemo has totally knocked me off my feet & I have every side effect going.
On Friday I collapsed & my best friend had to come over & clean me. I was like a helpless baby. The diarrhoea is sometimes uncontrollable & hits me out of nowhere.
I have lost so much weight the radiotherapy needs remapping.
I hate feeling so helpless.
Did anyone else have a problem with chemo?
thank you
Hi I completed my treatment in December and had every side effect going, it was tough but it has gradually eased once the treatment finished, for the first two weeks after the treatment I barely left my bed, things have improved massively now but I have to have another MRI to see what the results are . Stay strong and even though it is tough now it will be worth it.
