Wife's Diagnosis SCLC- Chemo Next Week-What Should I Do?
Lung Cancer | Last Active: 3 days ago | Replies (33)Comment receiving replies
The chemo therapy I went through really affected my appetite. I only could eat plain food, potatoes, rice etc. About three days after infusion I felt horribly ill. Rest up on those first days, don’t waste any energy. The first time after chemotherapy, not knowing any better, I went to Costco and it hit me hard. I could barely stand up and get out of the store. May your wife have a good journey and recovery.

I fortunately have been on the same chemo as the first time carboplatin and etoposide and have not had any repercussions. You get tired quicker and ive lost my taste buds which stinks.
I would say eat what your stomach can handle and do take it easy after having chemo until you can find out what you are going to feel like. God bless 🙏

Thank you dianemb for sharing your experience. I'll be sure and take her straight home after treatments. And thank you for your well wishes.
We can see it is going to be a long journey. We have a large and tight knit family and I know they will be a big help to her and me as well. And our church family is a loving helpful group. We have many people to lean.
