Hello

Morning all 

My name is Marsha and I have completed 4 chemo sessions out of 12 so far for treatment of stage 3 Bowel Cancer. My initial thoughts were I wasn't going to experience side effects (haha) boy was I wrong there?. Fatigue on fatigue ,headaches mouth ulcer,blisters and now skin peeling. My body just wants to curl up on the sofa but my brain has a million and one things to do and needs the body to cooperate. Anyone feel like this?. Answers on a postcard. X

  • Hi marsha, welcome to the forum the club nobody wants to join. You are now on a roller-coaster ride with a difference up, down and around and it seems to go on forever but hold on tight and you'll get to the end. Alot of your problems you should get meds to help. Creams for your skin, mouthwash for your ulcers and blisters. Either from oncology or Dr. 

    Thares plenty of people gone or going through similar things, think of it as a joining fee to an exclusive club and all the drinks and meals are free. Just keep fighting but not to hard. Don't overdo it and you will win. Then there will be a new you with a new normal. 

    Sorry no postcard mines all got dirty pictures on the front.. Good luck and best wishes for the future.
