Hi,
Wondering if I can get some advice, I have already had 2 cycles of abvd for classic hodgkin's lymphoma and was moved to escalated beacop-dac for 2 cycles after my interim pet scan showed that although most of the cancer was gone the under arm mass that started at 8cm x 6cm was still there but had reduced to 3cm x 2cm prompting the change.
I am now on week 3 after having my first beacop-dac cycle and looking for advice please.
I stopped the prednisolone as per guidelines on Sunday and today have muscle tenderness, stiffness etc on Collerbone, across chest muscles, shoulder, underarm joint tenderness, clicking/moving noise in ear and swollen glands all of which is on left side.
I don't feel unwell with and have no fever or breathing issues but was wondering if others have experienced this, is it due to coming off the prednisolone, the g-csf injections (I had lower back pain after the 4th injection but this subsided after a day) or is it more side effect ls from the chemotherapy itself even in recovery week?
Hello Neila (Neila90c00)
I can't answer your question as I have a different cancer - but wonder if you intended to post this in the Hodgkin's Lymphoma group, this is the Cancer Chat group. Here's the link you need if you were going to post in the other group:
I do hope you get the answers you need.
Best wishes - Brian.
