Hello Ovacome community, Has anyone experience of tinnitus as a result of receiving Cisplatin, or another chemo ( seems to be side affect of platinum chemos). This hissing started last Thursday, it’s loud and distressing causing hearing impairment. It’s constant. I had cycle 2 of Cisplatin & Etoposide

Good evening ladies , As I can not have chemotherapy due to low neutrophils and tired bone marrow , my oncologist suggested hormonal therapy drug Megestrol , any experience with this drug please ? Many thanks

The results continue from a 2004, six month chemotherapy with ADT trial. Last Lupron injection was February 2010. I wish all good luck in fighting this disease. Gourd Dancer

I've been on it for 4 weeks and haven't noticed any issue with my hair, but dying isn't usually recommended on chemotherapy drugs, which I thought hydroxywas.

My father had upper right lung lobectomy in 2017 and finished chemotherapy, now he has a colon mass, his gastro doctor said he needs to undergo chemotherapy first to make the tumor smaller then will proceed to surgery. I am confused. Worried. What if it will grow more...

Just an update. I had my first COVID-19 O-AV vaccine a week last Saturday. Though the following 24hrs I had a slight reaction of a little temperature rise and achy body (Flu type) but with paracetamol I felt better and it past by Monday though a little tired. Just thought I’d share. Thank you guys take

Guys just wondering if anyone has had a Covid-19 vaccine and on Chemo? How have you felt? Any side effects? I’m on a trail chemo and my oncologist said go ahead, along with the trial drug company. I’m due to have Oxd/AV on Saturday. A nurse at Cancer Hospital said her experience of staff having vaccination

A lot of chemotherapy seems to start off with carbo and carry on with something else either separate or combined. Is Carbo the big honcho and the others mainly back ups?

If you are currently doing chemotherapy (not to be confused with hormone therapy), then, the chances of you developing a meaningful immune response (which is the mechanism by which a vaccine is effective) is very low to nil.

Hi everyone, My father is due to have chemotherapy for advanced metastatic prostate cancer . He is 73 and been fighting prostate 10years and also had aml Leaukeamia 5 years ago. He has had a lot of chemotherapy in the past and i am concerned that this may reduce his life rather than help.

Hi everyone I have had prostate cancer for years and I am now at the stage where it has progressed to lymph nodes and a bit on my bones, hormone therapy stopped working so I have been put on chemotherapy to try to shrink it but not cure it.

I was left with the impression that chemotherapy was the end game and that it might only provide a minimal survival benefit.
