Hi all
I'm diagnosed stage 4 clear cell ovarian cancer since 15 Dec 23 & currently struggling so much with chemo side effects & wondering how it has been for others..
I had my 1st chemo 2 Jan (carboplatin paclitaxel and bevacizumab) 8 hour infusion. I didn't know how I would react and although I had many symptoms, it was manageable.
My 2nd chemo was 25 Jan, and this late 10 days has been pretty rough 😕 I've had every side effect going, the more common ones & not so common plus I have shingles and a urine infection. For the first time on my journey I have felt irritable, little patience & fed up with it all.
I know different feelings are to be expected & I should accept how I feel but its really getting me down. I feel like a total wreck physically 😫
Anyone on this combo of chemo experiencing lots of side effects? I have one more round 15 Feb & if my tumour has shrunk enough, surgery will follow in March 🙏
I'm already dreading the next round.
