@marycooper98_: A quiet kind of chemotherapy. No bell at the end. Just hope, routine, and taking it one day at a time. 🤍 #livingwithcancer #cancerjourney #cancerawarness #neuroendocrinecancer🖤 #chemojourney
I didn’t think the ‘no bell’ would bother me as much as it still does.

The no bell thing hurts way more for me than I thought it would. Also, the whole "well, you're not like, sick-sick. Because you're not on *real* chemo and you still have your hair, right?" thing drives me up the WALL.

I'm on Capecitabine tablets. Brutal side effects. Fatigue is off the scale every bone in my body is exhausted, hands and feet syndrome. Red raw hands and feet fingers cracking. I had to come off last week. Being seen today to see if I can resume my treatment. Mouth ulcers, nausea, diarrhea also.
I've completed 5 cycles 3 to go but had a blood clot, Salmonella and a high temperature and was in hospital x 3 times for these. This resulted in me also missing half of cycle 3 and the rest week and week after too. Best wishes to anyone doing chemo keep positive and keep fighting 🙏💪👍👏

My mum went through both intravenous and oral chemo at different times, neither were easy as much as some would like to think. Wishing the best for Tom in his fight

stage 4 breast patient. age 47 on oral chemo. the fatigue has given me insecurities and anxiety. I have always worked a demanding job on my feet and it doesn't seem possible that this disease has slowed me down since age 33. sending many blessings and well wishes. ❤️

The amazing thing is that the bell can stand for whatever you want it to stand for- and as someone who has worked around a cancer center with one: you don't need permission to ring it❤️Prayers for Tom (and fam!)

you absolutely can go ring the bell! does the place where you have bloods done or the outpatient department have a bell? when you get the all clear or finish the treatment, you find that bell and ring it!

No one can ever understand that fatigue that goes with Cancer treatments unless they've been through it. They just think it's as easy as having a nap and you'll be all good.

Cancer treatment no matter the type is gruling. The amount of times I hear "you look well". So many of the side effects are not visible. Sending ❤️

You have my sympathy. I was on 8 sessions of chemo drip then 14 days chemo tablets. 1 week of then all over again. You don’t live you fighting to live and every day is just step by step. Hang in there buddy we are all in it
