Good cycles, bad cycles
Has anyone experienced different reactions to different cycles of their chemo?
I had round 3 12days ago and this one has really knocked me for six! I usually take 3 days off work but needed a week ...
We certainly go through some tissues and toilet paper in this household of late. Me with the sinus problem and of course the loose bowels. First chemo I was bunged up so bad it was like the chemo had turned everything to cement. Then the last two chemos has been the opposite. Usually from day 3-8/9 I don't leave the house in fear of having an "accident". Yes I must say each session has been different. Mostly similar but different. I much prefer the loose to solid - I hate feeling bloated and uncomfortable. You would think that we would all be slim and beautiful but each chemo weigh in has the scales rising. I have put on 2 kilos since the start. I reckon that there will be another kilo or two this weigh in. I aim to get really fit and active once I am feeling well again - albeit WHEN. XLeonie
