#1 Pain
#2 Fatigue
It’s been 4+ years and still dealing everydayit's nicknamed the red death. It's a combination of chemo drugs Fatigue.
For me it was significant bowel blockages ( requiring 10 days of hospitalization ) combined with low white blood count due to chemo - Ten months later I still have numb toes, some fatigue along with some chemo brain - all said I am in remission, still here and have met some really nice folks on blood-cancer.com 😀 Dennis(Blood-Cancer.com TEAM)
💜🐼 Hi Dennis, right after my SCT my prostate swelled and I couldn't urinate. They didn't catheterize me for two days, I nearly busted open!! I spent 6-weeks catheterized until I could get surgery to correct my prostate gland. I experienced vertigo at the same time. I also experience like you, chemo brain and fatigue. Prayers to you that you continue to improve.
Probably the mouth sores were the worst thing when the chemo first started. The high steroid dosage made my mouth flora go into overdrive and it was painful for a week or so. The mouthwash didn't do a thing so I eventually had to get pills, and that took another three days or so. Man it was awful. Keep on keepin' on, DPM
I'm in remission but the mouth problem still happens. My tongue is supersensitive and I get a weird film on the roof. Nothing tastes like it used to. Ugh, that stinks. It took me a year or two to get things back to some semblance of normal, though. It might take a while in my experience, unfortunately. How long has it been? DPM
The pain, fatigue and nausea along with the mouth sores are rough for me I’m battling my cancer again for the second time I have multiple myeloma and it gets real when you’re dealing with the side effects
