Chemotherapy

Waiting to start chemotherapy really nit looking forward to it 

Parents
  • I was dreading chemotherapy as I think most people do but I have been pleasantly surprised. The nurses in my local hospital are just so friendly and supportive and they will any questions I have.

    The treatment itself is painless apart, in my case, the cannula being put in my hand. My veins are not good at all so I am opting for a Picc line. This is being put in tomorrow (dreading it) just before my 4th chemo treatment.

    Side effects for me have been mild.  No sickness and mild constipation. The main ones for me have been tiredness and a metallic taste in my mouth.

    Sending you lots of luck x

  • My veins are not to good at the moment with being in hospital, I'm hoping I only have mild side effects.

    Hope all just well for you tomorrow and going forward with your treatment 

    Sending loads of love xx

  • I am glad you are getting on well with the chemotherapy, personally I am dreading starting the treatment and side effects. Although I have a good knowledge of the drugs I will be have I am still worried about the side effects. I have been very sad since my diagnosis of stage three rectal cancer and have had difficulty in getting motivation to do anything.

    good luck with the rest of your treatment.
