Currently having a very strong reaction to the EC chemo. Completely out of body. Flu like systems. Diarrhea. Hot and cold. Sore sinuses. Extreme tiredness you name it I seem to have it! Has anyone had the same reaction and had doseage changed for the next cycle? It’s been mentioned but don’t have the brain capacity to work out what that might mean x

  • Hi Giddy.

    I''m on EC and am about to have my 4th cycle tomorrow.  Had similar symptoms to you but all fairly mild or only lasted a short time.  The only symptoms that have stayed around for all 3 cycles has been the tiredness and flu like aches and pains - they have never gone away!  You should mention the symptoms to your oncology team as they may be able to give you medication to combat this.  I had heartburn and itchy skin and I got treatment for both.  

    Don't suffer in silence - there is a lot of help out there!  

    Take care.

  • I had severe reaction to EC and Shingles I was given a reduction of EC and those were manageable with steroids and sickness meds.

    Don't suffer in silence speak to your nurses and oncologist.

    Hope you get on with your treatment better good luck Thumbsup
