Snufi, what does your onc have to say about what is going on? What is he suggesting be done? It sounds like you are experiencing most of the symptoms I have heard of before, but exaggerated. For instance, I had "bone" pain and difficulty walking at times, fatigue and loss of appetite, but not to the degree you are describing and not so early on. So you may be particulary sensitive to the chemo. Hopefully there are drugs and treatments to counteract all these symptoms (for instance "magic mouthwash") and I hope and pray your doc can get you going on them. As others have said, talk to your team, especially the treatment room nurses. Please keep the faith. And keep us posted.
