Hello everyone. My husband was diagnosed with FL two weeks ago. He had an extremely bloated tummy and put on almost 2 stone. He has been taking Prednisolone for almost a week and its gradually going.
He is due to start O-CVP on Tuesday. We have no idea what to expect. The consultant said his hair probably won’t fall out. Was wondering how he can prepare for the treatment and how he is likely to feel after. He has been advised to drinking plenty of water. TIA xx
Hi and welcome to this little corner of the Community.
This is the second time O-CVP has been mentioned in a few days (hit the discussions tab to see other posts)
The fact that he has been told he won’t lidless his hair tells me that this will not be as toxic as many of the others treatments....... my hair was like snow on a warm day.
Drinking lost of water is very important as this will flush out the toxins released by the chemo and will protect his kidneys.
Fatigue may creep in over time but keeping some activity going actually helps a lot.
Avoiding Infections will be important as chemo will reduce his immune system for a period of time.
Always around to listen and help out.
Lol, I was going to tag you Bernice. You have now someone to compare notes with.
