I am 4 weeks since my last TC Chemo(4 cyles) and woke up this morning, after a hot and sleepless night in Melbourne, feeling unwell. I have had fatigue and breathlessness but was coping with rest at different times during the day and walking when up to it. Today I am extra fatigued, very breathless and my bones are aching. Have an ladies experienced this. I am getting myself anxious that something else is going on.
Hi SJennings
How are U? You completed the Chemo that's really good. I completed mine one in JUNE. I remembered lots of so call "side effect" came out after than, one by one.
In my experience, side effect during Chemo stage, it would up and down and last for couple day and the body feeling back to normal. However, I experienced contingency side effect when completion of Chemo stage, like bone ache, tearing eye, swallon leg, muscle pain, and thigh tight (walk very difficult). I had I feeling even worse than compare with when in Chemo.
I believed it's quite normal cause the Chemo drug was sitting inside the body. Everytime when we receive chemo, there were sterile come with, and boost up the body. But after finished, the body stayed there, and the things came out.
I would suggest you to take it easy ..... You still are very weak, it will last 4 months, 6 months, or even longer depends on different people. The way that how you caring during the Chemo, please do continue, like lots of drink, juice, fresh vegi, exercise.... all the things. Your body will work on it. But give it more time.
You'll be back as normal...take care.
