hi! I’m 42, recently had a nephrouterectomy after being told I had stage 3 UTUC. Biopsy came back as grade pt3, but thankfully clear margins and no spread to lymph nodes. I’m about to start adjuvent Gemcis chemo. I wondered if there is anyone else out there navigating this one? It feels like quite a lonely path at the moment.x
Hi sjmargs . I went through Gem/Cis. Didn't really have a problem with it except tiredness towards the end. People have different reactions to it and you can't really predict what will happen. I had the usual 3 cycles. A cycle is a long day one week followed by a short day the following week. It can be a long day in the chair so take plenty of drinks and snacks and something to keep you busy. Chemo lounges are usually friendly and upbeat and not all doom and gloom as you may expect. I hope it goes well. Best wishes.
