Re: Chemotherapy

Slightly off on a tangent here, but in the last week I've been househunting and found a house I like. But my brain really struggled to engage in sorting out making an offer, and I had some anxiety about it one night, something I have never suffered from before. All fine now, and my second offer was accepted so I feel quite relieved. But I'm sure the brain fog is a lasting effect from chemo, as well as perhaps a side effect of a tablet I now have to take. It's the pits that even when intense treatment is over, some effects linger on...

I think many of the side effects of chemo may take a while to disappear but I’ve not had a break of more than a week or two in the last 10 months so can only go by what I hear. Hope your house move goes well anyway, orangutan.

Re: Chemotherapy

Thanks Val. Hard to imagine how debilitating it must be for you to be on such constant chemo. I don't think I could cope with that.

Re: Chemotherapy

Hi

Being on Chemo affects you.

It is not something that I have ever experienced, however the strong medication that I have been on certainly affected my ability to make decisions.

I still feel washed out, but things are getting better, but much more slowly than I would like.

The experience has certainly given me an insight into what it must be like for those on Chemo.

Re: Chemotherapy

When I finished my first round of chemo and was asked if I’d like to continue, I didn’t feel too bad, I more or less had a bad week followed by a good one. Now I’m getting towards the end of my second round and I’m feeling totally drained most of the time, I’ll not be so quick to accept more but at the moment I don’t know what the alternative is.

Re: Chemotherapy

True, UJ, but I will likely visit friends in Norwich and Herts now and then so may be able to add you to my Southern Circuit...

Ania darlin' - you would be very welcome here anytime you choose to visit this part of the world. We can always return to the Sabai Thai restaurant.
