Hi all. I had my second Capox IV last Thursday and they reduced the dosage as I really suffered after the first one. I've not had as bad side effects this time as I recorded everything I ate and meds i took to get the balance better between the effects of the meds. However I have experienced chronic fatigue ever since feeling sick because I'm so tired! I realise this is a side effect but does anyone know if this lasts the whole time until the next IV which is on the 19th or should it get a bit better? Any advice very welcome . Thanks
Thanks for the reply, I don't come on here every day hence the delay. They altered my dose as well as the side effects have been less and now the fatigue is reducing a bit .. just in time for the next cycle due next week if it goes ahead as they took extra bloods today as it's looking like my platelets have gone down quite a bit x
