Hi there, sorry you not feeling too great. Those pains and twinges will go on for a long time after chemo, scar tissue forming, nerves repairing etc. But I would ask your team about the itches down below so they can give you something to stop whatever is there. Wishing you all the very best🌹

Thanks for the reassurance , I will give the team a call tomorrow.

You must remember how much is being thrown at your poor bewildered body just now... not surprising that it is protesting a bit!

Yes definitely ask your team to check and to treat anything that needs attention but this is the business end of your treatment, so be patient and cosset yourself. You will soon be through and done! xx
