Hi all.
Daughter is now 10 days post second ABVD
Apart from normal side effects she is really suffering from major bloating /loss of appetite and pain if she does eat.
She is taking little and often, tried ginger and peppermint tea but nothing seems to help . We know it is a side effect but are there any tips to managing it that others have found successful
thank you
Hi mumkay!
Sorry to hear that your daughter is suffering from chemo side effects.
I had a pretty tough stomatitis after first two ABVD infusions, special mouse drugs helped me to relieve the pain.
Have you asked your doctor what can you do to help yourself with these side effects?
Thank you for responding. She is going to see her clinical team on Wednesday and will discuss it with them then
