@Unicornkisses I am so sorry to hear you had to deal with the IBS from that drug ... I gather from my plan that I have it as the second part of the chemo for 9 weeks - so three infusions. This was a huge concern for me as I had terrible IBS last year, no warning, was wearing Depends and felt like staying in...no picnics in the park just in case! I expressed this in no uncertain terms to the chemo onc who then decided it would be better to do the 6 month chemo treatment but her Professor said no, never heard of diarrhoea being a problem, only constipation! So we went with the 18 week job of 6 infusions. Ergh!!! I am glad you survived it. The nexium is a good tip! Where are you in your treatment now? I hope near the end! xx
Thank you @iserbrown ... that is a good idea to get outside. The weather is bad but we do have sunny spells and a little wander away from the bedroom is a good thing! I managed some tasks today and felt much better after those kind people in the Solaris Centre. Amazing how positive interactions push us forward. Tried a short meditation in bed free app called Head Space my yoga teacher posted, did some laundry and wrote a text to a friend. Still hard concentrating on movies though I used to like this. Best wishes and hugs xxx
