Hi there, I have Tripple x breast Cancer, diagnosed in Jan 24. Today I turned up for my regular weekly chemo and was put on delay due to very sore ( previouslyswolen earlier in week(, itchy hands. I REALLY concerned that missing today's chemo will affect my outcome . Has anyone else had to miss/delay/skip? X
Hi SBEV
I had to miss one cycle because I'd had a tooth removed. It was tacked on to the end so I still had the same number of cycles, the treatment just finished a week later.
Hi
I had mine delayed twice because my bloods were too low / high .Its not too uncommon for this to happen , chemo can be delayed for various reasons and most often we still get the same number of cycles ( unless you get very severe side effects for example )
hugs xx
