Hi Jessmarble,
I'm glad to see you've had a good experience with fec-t. I'm sure other members who are in a similar position will be glad to know that not everyone suffers from bad side effects when having this treatment.
Thank you for sharing this with us Jess and I wish you all the best for the rest of your cancer journey.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

Because you are given steriods to help with sickness it causes cravings and heartburn. My craving was chocolate and the heartburn was awful
