Hi
I didn't feel sick but I used to get a throbbing in my lower back the day after I had the last injection on each cycle when I was having chemotherapy for a different type of cancer. I found if I lay on my back with a hot water bottle under my back the throbbing would stop.
Thanks ever so much Latchbrook. The sickness could be unrelated and has passed now. Thanks for the tip re hot water bottle. Hope you are doing well x
Thanks for asking after me and, yes, things are good at the moment. I finished treatment last January and just have to have 6 monthly Zometa infusions to protect my bones.
Take care
