hello all, i am grateful my treatment has gone pretty well enough that surgery may not be necessary for me but I am struggling now with a lot of bloating after meals.
i have used beano- a digestive enzyme to help but it seems to be ineffective at times. My radiation oncologist has suggested this did not happen in treatment and has referred me back to my family doctor. My family doctor has referred me to my RO- you get the message - this is very discouraging-i had a number of complications going through treatment. I am afraid to push for answers -
I am back to work but drink little water because of sour taste in my mouth /dryness i have no appetite and do not want to drink much water
has anyone experienced these types of side effects- if so what seems to work for you-
my diet is lean protein-whole grain cereals-fruits -veggies-salads-no sugar or flour at all -no fried foods at all - i do salt food-
Just returning to this website after being away for months and after reading some posts will be calling whoever i have to call to get some help-
thank you all- i am without a partner and no one seems to get how difficult a path this is at times-
on a very positive note- i have never been happier :-) in spite of it all it has awoken me to living life to the fullest-now .
