Has anyone else had continuing side effects following chemo finishing ? It’s four weeks since I had pneumonia and chemo (Taxol and earlier FEC) discontinued after 18 weeks treatments .
Nausea intermittently , fatigue , aches in joints, headaches, numb feet and oddly hair loss daily although having used the cold cap I had a fair amount left by the end ! Now only a little left but have itchy scalp and daily loss, so seems the chemo is still attacking the cells.
Getting some strength back though with additional boost of diet supplements ; iron , turmeric, vit C and increased walking with doggy . About to start on Letrizole in a week or so , but for some reason ( maybe unrealistic expectations!) I thought the side effects would have gone once chemo stopped? My optimism currently in a trough !
Any advice girls?
