Indigestion
Hi All
I'm at day 10 after my first chemo and coping well. I've experienced the fatigue, nausea, sweats and now, indigestion. The latter 'kicked in' at day 7. The pain was quite severe, initially. ...
I lost 6 kilos during my chemo because of the side effect I had from the Dex tabs. It was rare, said my Onc, and it wasnt because of chemo, he said. I put up with excruciating pain from indigestion for 5 hits of chemo, and it wasnt until I mentioned it on here, I got some advice to deal with it. One of the lovely ladies on here said they put her on Nexium while she was having the Chemo and "poooof" a magic wand was waved and I could eat. I went on a low acid, now sugar, no meat diet, no carbohydrates and only fruit and smoothies, soup before hand for the first week. Of course it was a side effect of Dex! XX Bel
