Well not sure. My first chemo was dec 15th and I am too sick and weak to drive or keep up with my responsibilities. I'm having a phone consult with oncologist on Dec 26th. I have stomach ache, mouth sore, itchy genitals, chapped lips, diarrhea and feeling mighty poorly. Big yuck. And they say the rounds get progressively worse! Thanks for reaching out. I really appreciate it.

I am praying you are A LOT better by the time you talk to your doctor, but please make sure your doctor hears every bit of this.
Is this the clinical trial or did you go to regular protocol?

Hi @kayanonsen, those sound like particularly rough side effects. I thought I’d check in to see if some of the symptoms have lessened. Did you learn anything helpful from your virtual appointment earlier this week?

I would have these symptoms for avg of 11 days after treatment. Please take time to rest. I know sometimes I pushed myself especially after surgery which wasn’t good thing. You’ll get there. I know my diarrhea was the worst as it would keep me up most night. Follow drs recommended ways to deal with it. Like taking diarrhea med they prescribe. For mouth sores, I got oncology mouth wash from Amazon which would give some relief. Praying for you!
