Hi, I’m really suffering with pains and aching everywhere from Filgastrim. I’ve had co codamol and ibuprofen but I’m still writhing about in pain. I’ve got my electric blanket on but nothing seems to be helping!, Does anyone have any tips? I am aldoduffrtung from tingling:numb fingertips that is not also affecting my heels.
Hi Piritaxi sorry to hear of these side effects, that sounds rough. I think it would be worth giving your nurse or oncologist a call and having a chat to see what they suggest and to make sure they don’t need to change anything about your treatment plan. Hope this eases soon, best wishes
Thank you, I’m expecting acall from my oncologist as my heart rate is very high too. I’ll hold out until than x
