I feel so weak after my chemotherapy but this time (3rd time), I feel so weak and couldn't move around. Even couldn't eat . After every meal I got sick and do vomit.
I’m sorry to hear you are feeling so weak and are not coping well with the chemotherapy side effects. Have you tried speaking to your doctors about it? If you haven’t yet I think it might be a good idea to do so as they will likely be able to advise you on how to better manage this situation.
As you asked for advice I thought of a link I saw the other day on the side effects of chemotherapy, you can read more about it here. There you will find some suggestions on to cope with changes to eating and drinking and I hope that will help a little.
Also, if you feel like asking our cancer nurses some questions please know they’re available Monday – Friday, (except on bank holidays) between 9 a.m - 5 p.m on 0808 800 4040 which is free to call from a UK landline.
Tak to your named nurse or other members of your care team and ask them for help in relieving your side effects. They need to get a balance between all the different drugs and it is quite common for the nausea and diarrhea/constipation side effects to accumulate after the first two or three cycles.
Hi Dave,
Thank you so much for your advice. I've spoken to my consultant and even with my nurse. They have changed my anti-sickness tablets but my symptoms r still the same.
They said these are the side effects of chemotherapy. So I have to be strong and try to eat.
Thank you so much for your very informative advices. They r really very beneficial for me.
Sorry for a late reply as I was quite sick and weak. Yes, I spoke to my nurse and my consultant. They have changed my anti-sickness tablets but I still feel so fatigue.
They said these r the side effects of chemotherapy so I have to be strong and try to eat.
I can only pray and try to be strong for my family. They r really very upset and quite disturb.
