Re: Chemotherapy

Sending best wishes to all those going through such treatment.

Re: Chemotherapy

The past four days was my final chemo treatment. I'm really looking forward to my energy levels coming back up as I'm told they will.

Re: Chemotherapy

I hope your energy comes back relatively quickly, Ffosse. It makes such a difference to daily life after being zapped for what seems like forever.

Re: Chemotherapy

Tell me about it. I desperately want to go to the Botanical gardens and a pond near me to take some photos and simply enjoy being outside again.

Currently the fatigue stops me but I hope that changes soon.

Re: Chemotherapy

How well I know that feeling...one day at a time and hopefully each day gives you a little more improvement and hope.

Re: Chemotherapy

I’ve been on fortnightly chemo since last October and am really feeling the effects of long term treatment now. I think next time I’m asked if I’d like to carry on treatment, I’ll opt for a break first!

I do hope you soon get your strength back Ffosse.

Re: Chemotherapy

All I can compare it to was my previous cancer which was a breeze once I'd started the chemo and I sailed through that.

Of course, that time I developed Delirium early on which was worse than the cancer.

Re: Chemotherapy

That's a long time on chemo; I couldn't imagine what that must be like.

Re: Chemotherapy

The oncologist asked if I would like to stop the treatment or continue and as I was feeling quite well at the time I thought I may as well continue. I’m beginning to feel very fatigued now but I guess that is partly due to the heat.

Re: Chemotherapy

How often do you have your chemo, Val? The thought of it being long-term would I think make me give up...I've seen so many patients who are on it every three weeks for life now and I couldn't face that. But I don't have family to consider, which helps.
