Well this is a bit ******

Quick update, my chemo is now finished, been a long six months but it is what it is.
Got a post treatment scan on 22nd which will hopefully confirm the treatment has been successful

Last couple of weeks have been pretty hard, the feet and hands have really reacted to the chemo. Hardly been able to walk for the last few days. To be fair when discussing with the oncologist she was considering reducing the dosage but I said to keep it as it was. Maybe pushed it slightly too far . Attached a quick hand picture for reference . Feet are the same except they’re also peeling which you really don’t want to see

Excuse the slippers, but they’re memory foam and really comfy

Wishing you all the best

Hope you bounce back and get back to being active again. How's it been since? Are you able to eat ok and "do your business" without issues?

Glad you spotted it so early.

Cheers, still able to do some work on the turbo trainer, strangely that doesn't seem to bother the feet, really weird. Fatigue was the biggest issue with that, espcially the few days after restarting the treatment cycles

As for the rest I was lucky, didn't need a stoma so everything works as it should although you don't get as much notice that you need to go as you used to. Diet is back to normal, the first few weeks you were restricted to low fibre stuff to minimise any possible complications. Biggest issue is having an excess of wind which for some reason is more difficult to control
