Chemo

Less than one minute read time.

Three 3 week cycles of ECX Chemo (with carboplatin replacing the more usual cisplatin to protect my already poor hearing) throughout  November and into the New Year.

After the first cycle my white cell count was too low to embark on a further cycle without a week's rest. It was low again after the second cycle but they went ahead with he next cycle but I had daily injections to stimulate my white cell could and boost my immunity. I started my last cycle on Christmas Eve.

Not too many side effects. Some hair loss, nausea and tiredness but otherwise not too bad
