Hello everyone,

Im new to this.

I am about to start chemotherapy for the first time after having two rounds of radiotherapy that did not work. It will be for at least 3 months.

I think I’ve decided on the mixture with the drip and tablets. Has anyone had this type of chemotherapy who can give me anything on what to expect as I’m petrified.

Thanks in advance 

  • Hi Lauren, everyone has different side effects on the meds and it depends on which meds you are taking. I was on IV Oxaliplatin and Capecetabine but had severe reaction to the Oxaliplatin so I am now just taking the tablets but for longer. I don’t get any side effects from the Capecetabine. It is trial and error to see what suits you and whether any adjustments need to be made. Good luck and let us know how you get on.
