Oncogist reducing one drug slightly to help, but still a big worry for me. Having FECT.

  • Sorry you have this additional worry on top of the chemo .  Your oncologist would not be recommending chemo if it was not felt the best treatment for you .   Xxx

  • Can cause palpitations which I can get fairly often anyway. Usually control with beta blocker if doesn't settle down. Nurse said if I do feel it, have to call 999. Would feel stupid if was only my 'normal issue, but can't risk it. Received letter today confirming they're reducing the 1 drug by 80% to help and will closely monitor me.
