Next challenge will be getting there for it, some scumbag rear ended my car in the early hours of this morning and because it was an old car, it's being written off. Grrrr
Hi yes you need keep eye on appointment s chemotherapy bus had different one to what I had .had 2nd chemotherapy today 5 hours in total side effects back feel crap as expected had dinner off bed in mind for big big rest .has anyone got any tips for helping with constipation meds make me like it and don't want stain as have bowel n liver cancer .try baked beans going have some liquorice nurse suggest weetabix ryvita bit extra fibre prunes .yuk
Bless can they not reduce the strength and extend the period of yr chemo. TBH I know nothing just heard others say this on here. Ask t speak with yr oncologist if it is make u so ill. Mind u means to an end.
Is there nothing they can give u for the constipation - mind u meds often swing things the other way which is prob why they r saying more natural methods. So the usual fruit veg, oats etc
Hi Tigercub. Sorry you're feeling ****. I cannot even imagine how tough chemo must be. But you got this! I think you need to speak with Macmillan who can perhaps put you in touch with a dietician. Something that may help me with constipation may exacerbate your condition. Is there not a dietician at hospital you're being treated at? I have a smoothie with spinach, berries, honey yoghurt, ginger, and oats which helps my gut in many ways. I hope you resolve this as it can make you feel worse. Have you tried coca cola?
Hi thanks for advice am going try eat more fruit today .last time it only took couple days to get back being more normal .have avoid cold drinks does something to throat horrible I found out hard way have wear gloves get things out fridge effects nerves hands fingers .I think liquorice may help and stay off bread for bit
There is a website that gives you some tips - it's called CareAcross. You sign up via email on the website and does analysis according to your condition. I can't eat fish or meat since treatment so it helped me to learn about portions, foods, etc that were best. A most definite I found was turmeric and black pepper were cancer fighting foods. I add that into my smoothie. Pomegranate, mushrooms and loads of other tips. Live better with cancer website helps to learn about products for skin care, hair loss, etc.
