Side effects of vincristine

Yes I had PCV for a recurrence. Cannula and tablets.My body hated the vincristine, almost immediately giving me Reynauds syndrome. I was switched to just lomustine which I tolerated much better. 

Thank you for sharing your experience!
Im nervous in general. Would rather a line for access yet not one as one less thing to worry about too!
I'll be sure to look out for signs if reynaulds, thank you! Did you lose your hair with lombustine? What were your main side effects?

My only clear side effect was 24hrs of nausea after each tablet. But that was only 1 day in 42 so no biggie. I didn’t notice any further hair loss, but I’m a late 50s man who had lost some already. I lost more to radio than anything else 

Hi Snynknown

Nice to hear from you.

Vincristine is not a treatment I am familiar with as G declined all offers of treatment after his initial 6 weeks. I did find this info link on the main website for you Vincristine - chemotherapy drug for some cancers | Macmillan Cancer Support 

This is a safe and supportive space so I'm sure the others will be along shortly to share their experiences and words of wisdom with you.

Sending love and light and hugs

Vincristine is part of the PCV treatment protocol. I am a nurse myself so am able to get resources but was looking for different peoples first and experiences of it.

Thank you :)

I’ve only had tremazadol (they seemed to think this was doing nothing). And now lomustine full dose. I think 200 mg. I’ve not lost my hair ( except where the radio therapy pinched it) and I feel it’s thicker these days lol  I had more nausea with the lomustine but anti sickness helps that ( cannot for the “life of me remember what it’s called -stuff)

 hope you’re feeling ok and try not to overthink some of these things. Yes; they can be scary to think of but there are scarier things. 
the radio therapy was fine, just Friar Tuck for a bit, but it grows back. The chemo from my story has been as expected.

 I’ve blogged my journey

I have done one cycle so far .the infusion of vincristine was 10 mins only and I felt fine , minor nausea next day but that may have been the lomustine or procarbazine. No further nausea . Was given 3 days lo wish dose dexamethasone which I didn’t want to take but glad I did ! When I stopped this I felt every muscle and bone ache 

I’m sure that was the procarbazine! 
no hair loss at all but only 1 cycle 

soon back to normal when stopped 

Sorry forgot to add had iv line not picc 

prob wouldn’t do pic line as short infusion every 42 days 

Yes this all sounds exactly what my plan is too. And again hoping/asking for no picc or line as you say the infusion is every 42 days! Let me know how you continue to get on!

I have egg harvesting in two weeks then radio then chemo. 

so much love xx

Ok all the best of luck to you !!
stay positive 

I had 2nd opinion before I started the PCV as wasn’t keen but was advised to start 

happy that I did now ! As only couple days feeling rubbish but everyone different I guess ! No glass of wine was the trickiest bit
