I sympathize with your side effects. I had colon cancer resection one year ago and then chemo for nine months. My side effects are different but I’m now suffering from diarrhea and some bowel issues. Imodium, Pepto-Bismol, and Tums are helping. I feel like if some of the stress from the outside was off of me my symptoms would improve. I pull away from people because of the negative feelings it makes it more difficult for socializing. I know socializing is so important to get us more healthy. Yet again it seems more difficult when we are not feeling well and we have these unattractive side effects that people do not understand. You are not alone! I congratulate you for reaching out, seeking help from doctors, and doing whatever socializing you can do. Trying to keep our spirits high while dealing with the side effects are extremely difficult. I am sorry for your situation.
