How bad are chemo side effects with radiation for stomach cancer?
Community Member
a month agoJust finished the 6th round of chemo I also get a big bolas dose and a chemo pump that gives me another 46 hours of chemo at home . This round was rough almost as bad as my first dose . Nausea , bad diarrhea , my toes won’t stay warm . I start radiation in about 2 weeks along with my chemo I’m a little scared to have worse symptoms adding the radiation because my cancer is in my stomach that’s where it will all be pin pointed for treatment . I’m hoping a long nap and my nausea meds will kick in soon . Thanks for listening .💜💜
