ulcerative colitis and chemo

Hi Ive just started chemo and wonder if anyone out there has UC or Chrones whilst undergoing treatment?

If so did you experinec anyflare ups and how did you deal with them? Ive been told that one the days I take the anti sickness tablets to not take my normal steroids

I’ve got Crohn’s - it has remained quiet while I have had chemo, which finished last week. Amazingly the biggest problem has been constipation from anti sickness drugs… not something I normally suffer from!. Suggest you chat to gastroenterologist as well and report any changes to them and also oncology team. Good luck - hope it all goes OK for you and wishing you minmal side effects
