My first week after Chemo . .

It's not fun, but I'm hanging in there.  I'm having the usual side effects.  Some nausea, dry heathing, fatigue.  I'm also having joint pain in my legs.  Specifically my knees and ankles.  My thighs and calves are aching also.  I'm just curious if anyone else has had these symptoms and what they could cause by.  If anyone has any insight your support would be greatly appreciate.

Hello,

I lost my step mother to brain and lung cancer last year.  Since then, I have been trying to help those going through cancer in any way that I can.  I have since found a product that may help patients going through chemo, specifically with the nausea and vomiting associated with it.  If you are interested in learning more, please contact me at your convenience.  I will continue to keep you in my prayers as you go through this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Kelley G.

My husband is currently going through chemo for stomach cancer, he has had 6 chemo treatments since January 2009. He also experiences the same side affects, it actually was worst and has gotten better.  The oncologist has him coming to the office for extra fluids, he gets 2 bags of IV fluid the day after the chemo treatment.  It has helped him, but he still has some stiffness and fatigue but not as bad as it used to be.
