Thank you for responding and the friendly welcome! Btw, I meant NG tube in my intro. My treatment begins this Wednesday. Needless to say I’m very nervous. My symptoms at this time include some pain on my left side under or around my rib area. Not sure this is caused by the cancer, but it really isn’t severe. It’s enough to let me know it exists. I am also back to flushing which I absolutely hate! However I think I’ve somewhat learned how to handle it and just move right along with my day. Loose stools, urgent ones at that. I think my biggest complaint is being a bit short tempered and insecure about anything and everything, I’ve had quite a bit of hair loss, thankfully I had so much hair it doesn’t show unless people have known me. It was about to my waist and very thick and I began cutting it until it reached my shoulders. I can feel the thin-ness of it now. So at this point this is what I’m going through. Simple stuff, right? Also since being taken off afinitor I am now able to eat again and hoping this new treatment will not make my food taste like metal.
