I am struggling with chemo, it’s difficult after every round. I am delayed by 2 weeks from original dates due to several problems, bloods, potassium levels, fluids and eating. As well as colitis. Feeling quite fed up. Just have 7 days of pure feeling awful sometimes leading to 10days! 

It’s when I have to take the injections for my bone marrow it’s what makes me feel yuk! I take thes on day 3 to 9. This upsets everything, including my toleration of noise and people!

I have no energy or will to do anything. It takes me every effort to get up and have my breakfast and medications etc.

I sometimes sleep and my meds get pushed back etc, don’t think that helps me either. 

I have a foodmap diet which doesn’t help, it just is so boring, not great. I have banana on toast or eggs sometimes, then crackers and cheese for lunch or snacks. Apple or pears too. Then baked potato and cheese for tea or spaghetti with cheese. Gone off meat in this week, nearer the chemo date I can eat a bit of pasta bolognese or something. It’s so boring and just yuk really. Sometimes have cuppa a soup for a change. Drink water or apple and pear juice Robinson, it’s all I can stomach.

tried lots of juices but didn’t like the taste or upset my gastric system. Get indigestion lots.

i have tried grape juice too sweet, and diabetic so no good.

dont drink tea and gone off coffee, caffeine a problem at present.

its not good.

any inspirations? Gingeraid is recommended but don’t like it or fizzy at present due to gastric issue.

i am 3 chemo sessions down, and 3 to go! I have checkups soon, and due to have an operation after chemo, then after that radiotherapy.  

I feel anxious and up and down due to the frustration it’s not going as well as I hoped, I just feel quite lonely within my self, wishing it was all done. hate feeling this way.
