Hi All, I’m half way through my chemo and have just started EC. I’m struggling to know if some things are symptoms of the new drug or if I have flu cold ect.
I’ve read immunotherapy can mimic flu like symptoms too which I’m also taking. I have slightly swollen glands in my throat which hurt when I swollow and my back between my ribs hurts. I have no temperature though I have been checking.
Hs anyone else has these symptoms and been ok? Are they common side affects for these drugs or is this more worrying?
thanks
J
