I've just finished my 9th folfox (no oxi since 4th). Following the last treatment, I felt great.. joked that maybe I had a placebo! This time I feel rotten, dizzy, tired, digestive pains and a bit weepy and just not like me. I have little energy... last time we danced, went walking and I felt great. I really thought that I had this chemo sorted once the oxi was stopped.
I'm wondering why this time should be so different. The only difference I can think of is that it's been unbelievably hot here. I'm wondering if this might affect the rate at which the drugs are metabolised.
Have other folks found that the way they feel differs after some treatments?
I just can't wait for this to end and I take my hat off to those of you who do years of chemo....makes my discomfort seem like nothing.
Love and hugs to everyone on this journey.
