Hi, I a wondering if anyone else was suffering from long term side effects of chemo. I had carbo/taxol for womb cancer. I was so poorly during the chemo. Twice had to be admitted to hospital and be put on intravenous antibiotics and have blood transfusions. During the whole process I could barely walk, I was extremely fatigued all the time, I was breathless, was vomiting, had diarrhoea, couldn't eat, had although bone pain and just felt so I'll. it got that bad that I couldn't complete my last chemo session because I was so poorly. That was nearly 2 years ago. I am currently in remission but I still feel dreadful. Some days I can still barely walk and feel so breathless and I constantly feel absolutely exhausted all the time. My legs feel so weak and painful. Some days I feel ok ish and them others I feel as though I'm still having chemo. I have spoken to my GP and my McMillan Nurse and all have said I have long term effects from chemo. I'm currently waiting for a bone scan to check for Osteoporosis to see if I am suffering with this too. I was wondering if anyone else was suffering long term effects like this and how they are dealing with it. The McMillan nurse has told be some people suffer with the long term effects for years and even life. I also had radiotherapy which also helps increase the risk of long term effects. This is really affecting my quality of life.
