Chemo question

Maryrose, I'm onto it! Appreciate your help. Thanks

Thanks Tracey and Lyn, 

I will do as advised and follow up both of these symptoms. It's crazy not knowing what " normal " is...... I'm happy ( well, NOT happy but you know what I mean) to tolerate whatever is dealt out as long as I know it's not doing damage..... But I'm uncertain of the peramaters! And, yes Lyn, all of the above but not the diarrhoea unfortunately!!

I appreciate your guidance! Thanks again. 

Hi Bridie, As Tracey said, get your arm checked out. As for the burning guts with FEC, I did get heartburn/ reflux and went on Nexium and that helped that. I also had bad gut spasms, that usually started as a burning in my upper abdomen, & worked its way through my gut to be quite  severe spasms when it got to my lower abdomen, & by the time the diarrhoea happened it was actually a relief. Nothing I tried really eloped, unfortunately. Don't know if that's what's happening for you. I hope not! It wasn't fun ??.

Take care, Lyn

Hi bridie.

I too had bad heartburn whilst on FEC. I was put on nexium during chemo and for a period afterwards. It worked well for me. Take care of yourself.

Maryrose  ??

Hi Bridie, I was nauseous and dizzy on FEC. If you're concerned, ring the oncology unit, doesn't sound good, you need to address the burning feeling in your arm before it gets worse. Could also be an idea to ring the Cancer Council for advice. Hope that you get on top of it soon. Sending you a big cuddle, Trace ??????

Thanks Carmel, that is helpful. I will report it ! 

Regards, Bridiek

Hi Bridie......I guess I had something like "burning guts" when I started chemo. I felt awful for a few days after my first TAC & went back to the chemo ward & they got the dr & gave me Nexium which helped settle my stomach & I continued it right through & for a while after.
