first week after Chemo
The side effects from my chemo have had a severe effect on my bowels and I need to be close to a toilet. Thus I am unable to work. I understand it is only one week, but I am not coping. I see all thes...
Hi @alibrien,
Kmakm is right. No body knows how you are going to handle things. You shouldn't compare it will do you no good and it may get better as you go along.
I had ACT. Through the AC I carried a lot of those dissolvable immodium tablets in my bag. They work very fast. It got better the next time around though.
I also found that the "Hey, I need to pee" was only giving me about 30 seconds warning. Not cool the first few times before I worked it out. That did get better as well.
I did go back to work but I only work part time and there were a couple of days I thought I was a bit tougher than I actually was and had to go home half an hour after getting there.
All the best lovely.
