Hi, my mum was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer a week before xmas, she started chemo in Feb she has had 3 rounds of carboplatin, the last being on Monday this week, she has been her normal self with little side effects until the last one. She is having bad dizzy spells, nausea and looks like she's going down hill, is dizziness common during chemo? Her BP is normal, oxygen Sats normal and normal temperature, any advice would be appreciated
Hi Mandy87
If we look at the page on here on Carboplatin we can see that dizziness might be a symptom of anaemia and that might be consistent with the other things you talk about. This is treatable but would need to be checked out at the hospital though I totally get your mum not wanting to go, I always know my wife is really unwell when she actually wants to go to the hospital.
kind regards
Steve
