dh back on Chemo

[Blandmum]

The last round hit him so hard they gave him 2 weeks off. They also reduced the dose to 80%. he had his dose at lunch time

Poor man had already been violently sick twice. And this is insipte of 3 different anti emetics. I don't think that he can carry on like this for much longer, even if they have said the treatment can continue

The thing is the two weeks off were almost like having the old dh back, before the cancer and before the chemo

Bastard fucking disease

So sorry MB. Best wishes to Mr MB.

Sounds awful, big hugs to you all.

thoughts for you and family xxx

God, mb you both must be emotionally and physically knackered!

I wish you both strength for the days ahead. You're both so inspiring. Kindest regards to your wonderful dh

MB - you don't "know" me so to speak. But I have read bits of your story and I really feel for you. I just wanted to ask if your DH has tried acupuncture to deal with the sickness? When my mum had chemo a friend came to her house and gave her acupuncture and it seemed to help. Mum was pretty sceptical but it did seem to make a difference.

MB, I don't know if you 'do' hugs but have one anyway {{{{{{{ }}}}}}. You've been so strong for your dh, you're really amazing. It's the hardest thing to watch your dh being so ill, I remember it all too well. When will be his next round?

So sorry MB. How long will the sickness last?

I echo Artichoke's post. My dh had reiki a couple of times and it seemed to 'help' him relax if nothing else.

Tablets are taken for the rest of this week and then he has another infusion on Tuesday.

It is, I think, the infusion that he finds most difficult to cope with.

Up to last round(last month) the antiemetics worked very well. Each round just gets harder.

I'm so sorry, MB.xx

Wishing you both strength MB.

last time the sickness lasted 3-4 days, utter exhaustion 4-5 days.

I'm so sorry mb. xxx

sounds horrendous - what can one say?

LL, that did make me smile!

He has been so good in the two weeks off. makes this all the harder in some ways.

Bad times. Hope you get some more good days soon

So sorry mb much love to you all

So sorry to hear this MB....
How many weeks does each round of chemo last?

I hope you can both get through this, you have been so amazing so far.

Wishing you and Mr MB all the best
