May 2026 chemo starters

Glad to hear side effects have been more manageable @baldiesrus this time round. But also sounds like its still thrown you challenges. :heart: Its not easy is it.
Cant believe they gave you a radiotherapy appointment on the same day as chemo though :woozy_face:. But as you say, at least it was in the same hospital. So hope it goes to plan.

Cool weather and rain is much needed isnt it. The heat is such a challenge with chemo. My day started cool but got hotter as the day went on. I went for a ride in the car with a friend, so I could have air-con on. See the world, get shopping. Had a Short walk by the sea, which was lovely. Then slept when i got home. :joy::sleeping_face::person_in_bed:

Like you I need to eat often. No chance of losing weight :rofl::rofl::wink:. That was one plus of chemo I was relying on :rofl::wink:. But oddly Ive lost a tiny 2kg (no noticeable loose clothes​:person_facepalming::person_shrugging:) since first being weighed, even though Ive eaten loads. Even in the middle of the night !!!. Odd…no appetite when I see food, but the hunger is very uncomfortable if I dont eat and can make me sick :nauseated_face:. So I make sure I have something.

Glad you didnt get that cold from your lovely hubby. :heart::flexed_biceps::face_with_medical_mask::sneezing_face:. They are so kind arent they :rofl:.

You do right wearing masks, limiting friends. Im the same. We are so close to finishing chemo, extra health problems are the last thing we need. :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:luckily my friends are happy with texts and phone calls whilst I get through this. Pointless them all calling round, as I sleep at odd times….i.e. when my body says “sleep”. Id find it exhausting entertaining. So I told them it would be a waste of their time. They are all happy with that. :heart::bouquet:

Strength love and hugs :flexed_biceps::heart::people_hugging::bouquet:
