  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Terry although I'm sorry to hear what happened after you had two fizzy drinks.

    Unfortunately this isn't a question I can't answer but our team of cancer nurses may be able to help so if you'd like to speak with them about this they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Hopefully some of our members will share their experiences with you soon but do be sure to have a chat with your cancer team about this as well.

    Wishing you all the best with the rest of your chemo Terry.

    Kind regards,
