Looking good girl! And so glad you have reached the end.

I was always sick down to acid which was always worse at night, so I got prescribed Omaprezole and am still on it and it seems to have done the trick for me.

I have heard that sleeping or putting your bed at an angle where you are sitting up can help.

I would take advice on this if I were you from your team.

Well done for getting through this gruelling treatment and now you need to get the scan over with and arrange some get away and treats for you,

Lots of love

Thank you so much for your advice.. It did taste acidic so it seems that it could be down to reflux will get it checked out as it was horrible πŸ˜–πŸ˜–

Yay! Well done, Shelly!

Chemo 6 also knocked me for six and it's the only time I've thrown up after chemo, also unexpectedly in the middle of the night! Felt much better afterwards, so go figure.

Hey Shellygirl I like your dress/top. Lovely picture. I'm waiting for my chemo number 6 - and then ct to see if they can operate this time (they wouldn't after chemo 3). So I'm pleased for you that you've got through. I have found each chemo worse than the one before so it's a good job when you get to the big one that it's the last. I suspect we are all much tougher than we would ever have believed - if we knew all that we had to go through at the start it would probably have seemed impossible, but piece by piece we wade through. People "out there" don't know what we live day to day. I'm so proud of us all.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone as best you can.

Thank you Nettie it is a dress although rather short so wear leggings ... I so agree chemo is so unpredictable and affects each of us differently ... It's not an easy journey but we do get there in the end there has to be a light at the end of the tunnel 😍

Looking fab hunny! Congrats on your last chemo although really sorry to hear it's knocked you for six :( I can't offer much advice other than to rest, rest, rest and listen, nourish and hydrate your body and if you get worried, contact your medical team.

A massive well done for getting through your treatment. I am sending lots of positive ((healing)) vibes your way and hope you start feeling better real soon :) xx

Was sick ALL the time on Chemo & lost over a stone & a half from Op through 6 months of Chemo. Lost hair 12days after first infusion!

I figured it must be working!!!!

Thank you 😍

Well done Shellygirl, you are done and dusted. It is probably the cumulative effect of treatment which has knocked you for six and in addition your body is coming to terms with the fact you will not be tied to chemo wards for the foreseeable future. Just be kind to yourself, eat small amounts more often rather than full meals. You will settle and well done on reaching the finishing line.
