Went to my second chemo session on the 30th.December but no let up in stomach pain and diarrhoea over the weekend so on the Monday morning didn't feel great but went along to the session but realised when I got there that I was really running on empty, I was emotionally and physically very low indeed, quite exhausted. Any way they told me there was a problem with my blood that were taken the previous Friday so naturally I assumed that was my problem. The bloods were retaken and were OK surprisingly. Because I felt so bad, they would not give me any chemo. The problem has been the high level of capecitabine, 2600mg a day and it was mentioned by the nurses that not many elderly people can tolerate this drug. Since then I have been trying to get it out of my system, diarrhoea and stomach pain being the main problems. However, I am eating better now.
