Yes, I have total experience of coming off of chemo. For me, the three month course of Docetaxyl was a complete waste of time. Ironically, my PSA shot up, I suffered terrible skin damage on my feet. Curiously, in the space of a month after finishing, I lost my three tooth dental bridge and found the rest of my teeth became very fragile. In that respect, it screwed up my erstwhile half decent month. The skin on my toes blackened and my toe nails just became a crumbly mess.
Although I cant prove it, I believe that such was the toxic explosion my body became subjected to, my kidney issues tied in with having just had chemo. I too had to have a stent as the cancer I never knew was going on at the point of anastomosis had rendered me incontinent. Such was the failure of chemo in arresting any progress of the cancer that the para aortic lymph node putting pressure on my ureter necessitated urgent insertion of a JJ stent. This immediately had a positive effect as well as bringing my ridiculously high Creatinine levels (it was to get much worse a further year down the line but that’s another story.)
Fatigue was seriously badly and took about six months to resolve to more manageable levels but I can advise that chemo fatigue is nowhere near as debilitating as that caused by kidney failure and sky rocketing Creatinine levels.
i hope this has given you some personal comparators and wish you strength and courage fighting this b****** disease.
