Hi Kevin I had two tumours removed last November (2006) one on either side of the bowel, both were cancerous.  I had 80% of my bowel removed as well as one ovary and my gall bladder. I finished chemo in June this year after 6 months of treatment, one dose (which went over 3 days)  every fortnight.  I had a few side affects which today I still get the tingling and numbness in my fingers and feet.  I found the chemo very draining, not at first but after the 3rd dose i lost a lot of weight as I had the runs which made me dehydrated, I couldnt have anything really cold to eat or drink as it gives you a bit of a shock and I was very tied.  I didnt lose my hair but it thinned out a bit. Close to the end of my treatment I found I had some clots in my lungs. I have been on clexane to thin my blood for 6 months.  I finish this week.  So my story sounds all gloom and doom but today when people see me they wouldnt think I had ever been sick.  They say I look years younger.  I hope my story helps a little bit.

I have someone I can ring tomorrow (wednesday) and talk to.I'm feeling quite sick at the moment so I have not had that much to drink.I think Butterfly is right as I get more into my treatment I will lose the taste and desire to consume too much. This happened when I was having radiation treatment.Thanks again it means so much.Kevin ... View more
