Chemo round number 8 and struggling
Hi All,
I’m looking for some advice/ fortitude! I’m 8 /12 cycles into my chemo. I initially had 2 CAPOX, then got moved to FOLFOX (so far completed 6) due to an allergic reaction and being hospitalised with CAPOX. FOLFOX side effects are definitely more manageable but I’m feeling like I’m walking around in some kind of drug- chemo brain haze fug - with rapidly decreasing patience and still with 4 cycles left. I feel like my mental strength is quickly depleting; my physical strength is going as I get really bad stomach cramps and I’m struggling to get through / out the house fir 4 days post chemo. Of course I’ll get through the chemo but what do others do when they reach this stage - has anyone taken up any (non mentally taxing) hobbies? Any advice will be digested thoroughly! Thanks
