Hi all
After being treated for Ovarian Cancer etc with debunking and total hysterectomy in 2018, i was found to have two small tumours on lymph nodes in my back. I was prescribed six cycles of Caelyx and Carboplatin and am now halfway through. I have a CT scan booked for 1st July to check how things are going.
Luckily so far I have not lost any hair which is a bonus as last time I lost all of it.
The side effects after each cycle are seeming to get worse. The main problems are with light headedness and feeling a bit shakey. The weather isn't helping as I am feeling the heat more than usual too. I am experiencing very low blood sugar levels too. I was left with peripheral neuropathy in both feet after my previous treatment and I am finding I am being more clumsy now. Constantly dropping things.
I was told that surgery was unlikely to be an option as the problem areas are too close to my spinal cord.
Is anybody else experiencing similar and have they any advice to offer?
I am generally a very positive person but I am finding this particularly challenging.
Thank you for reading.
