Hey all, i just wondered if anyone can help. I have had surgery for bowel cancer and so far one round of chemo, which finished about 4 days ago. On the night I had the CADD taken off I felt pretty average and at about 10.30 woke up with sweating, chest pain, weakness and nausea. It was really horrible. I saw my oncologist yesterday who said I probably had a heart ummm I forget, weird rhythm and should have called the ambos. It's so hard to know though, I have no idea what is normal anymore and can't read my body. I still have a bit of chest pain on and off and can't sleep cos I'm scared I'm going to have a heart attack. Has anyone had this issue? And I also wondered how people feel between chemo treatments. Do we expect to feel completely well or have lingering issues that feel like a virus? I just can't read it at all. Thank you in advance! :) ... View more

Hey, thanks for having me in the group. I was diagnosed with a 4cm mass in the top part of my bowel about eight weeks ago. It's been a whirlwind of blood tests, doc appointments, surgery and now chemo. Had my first round yesterday and today. It's scary, I'm just doing what they tell me and taking it a step at a time. It has taken over life that's for sure. But the hospital and all associated have been awesome. I know there's a lot of people worse off than me, but I guess we are all living through our challenges. Anyway, just hi. :) ... View more
