All Done :)

Well, my last treatment was last Thursday. So thankful to be done. I wanted to go over a few of my post treatment pains and side effects. Of course I still have internal pain when I have a bm. I'm still drinking a lot of my meals hoping I don't have to go as often. I suspect that will let up some in the next couple of days. That is still the most awful thing I've ever experienced. I also have awful stinging in my vaginal area still. Mostly right where the urine comes out. (Sorry I'm not good at anatomy). I'm not sure why that's not healing faster. The exterior of my bum is doing great with just a few little areas still healing. The other symptom that scares me a little is my fatigue level. If I even walk up the stairs my heart starts just pounding away. I know others talk about fatigue but is this normal? I can't grab a load of laundry without breaking out in a sweat and feeling like my heart is going to jump out of my chest. Hoping to be back at work in a couple of weeks :) Thanks for everyones support! |

Sounds like you are healing fast. Congratulations.
The out of breath and heart pounding was part of my experience and the head rushes and the blacking out. My blood pressure before tx was 110 over 60 now 87/43 the living dead. Ha ha. Seriously 5 fu is known for decreasing blood pressure and upping the heart rate. The breathlessness has passed unless I am exhausted. Can't remember how long it took, it just went away. The bp however remains a problem and that can be effected by weight gain or loss. Keep moving and you will improve. Rest for me was the enemy.i rested too much thinking I would improve. I see here the people who exercised throut tx and after fare the best. I have never recovered from the fatigue. Sometimes I have to pull over and sleep.it just takes time!
