I am receiving weekly TCHP and I’ve had five sessions so far. I found it rather a rollercoaster with just over two days where I’m buzzing when on the steroids and then I completely crash with upset stomach and exhaustion for the rest of the week before going into the next session. It would be great to hear from anyone with their experiences of this regime. I’ve also had very mild tingling in my feet post treatment but this normally resolves within 24 hours. Is this to escalate or is this a fairly common occurrence? I know it’s often the symptom that means that your treatment is dose reducing or limiting and I really don’t want that.
Hi Bonnie3351
Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum. The tingling in your feet might be the start of Neuropathy which is a common enough side effect of treatment. Mention it to your chemo nurse the next time you are on the chemo ward.
I haven't had the same treatment that you are getting so I've no experience of that regime. Hopefully someone will be along shortly with their experiences.
Wishing you the best of luck with the rest of your treatment.
Best wishes

Daisy53 thanks very much for the advice. Luckily the tingling has subsided so that’s good news but I will mention it to the chemo nurse if it happens again. Hopefully in due course someone can share their experiences of weekly TCHP with me. Really appreciate your reply.
