  • Hi Pineapple,

    A very warm welcome to our forum,

    I am sorry to hear that you felt so bad after your chemo sessions. Perhaps there may be another chemo that would be kinder to your system? This is something that you could discuss with your consultant next week. You will find it helpful to write down any questions you may have, prior to your appointment and to take these with you to your consultation. You may be disappointed, but you haven't let yourself down. Many people have had to stop for the same reason. I sincerely hope that there is an alternative for you.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
