chemo radiotheropy

Hi, I've just started my chemo tabs this morn & had my 1st radiotherapy session, my stomach feels quit bloated to were I've had to open my trousers for comfort , is this normal? Could it be working on me already ? 

  • Hi Kat, welcome to the forum. I can't answer your question, but perhaps if you post it in the section "Ask the Nurses" they may be better able to answer that for you. You could also call a member of your treatment team and explain what is happening and perhaps they can better provide you with that information. Come back after you get an answer and let us know how you get along. Good luck with it.

    Take care.

  • Hi. Lorraine, turns out I've a bladder infection :0.... Few more meds to throw in with the mix , hopefully will clear up before radio on monday. 

    Thanks katrina x

  • Hi Katrina, I'm sure the medicine will at least start to clear up the infection before Mon. so you're likely going to be okay. Glad you found out what was going on and were able to get it looked after in record time. Good luck on Mon. and check in whenever here on the forum and let us know how things are going for you.

    Take care.
