Things you wish you had know!
Hi, I am Shelli,
For those that don't know me I am 39, stage 4 bi-lateral breast cancer with mets to the bones. Fun hey! Not really. I have just been though 6 rounds of Dotax, Herceptin and Perjeta...
Donna, Oh the amount of "poo" issues is out of control! (haha literally) I call chemo the game of extremes or side effect bingo - what will it be today when i wake up! I think we need to be more open to talking about chemo and poo. I would say to my friends its either constipation or all the way to being a soda stream in there! ...and then all the other things that come with it!
I totally agree with the tired. I cannot explain or even other people cannot understand, its one of those things if you havent been through it - you can just not imagine it. That is awful about the dehydration - my entire focus was on the eating and the drinking no matter what - i shoved that in my mouth even if it hurt! :-)
