Hi all,

Had first course of twelve ABVD chemotherapy on 21/2/20. I have had the usual side effects, however I now am struggling to sleep after a week of not being able to stay awake! I have also noticed my gums are receding.  Anyone else experienced ABVD?

Thanks

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Barksy although I'm sorry about the side effects you're currrently contending with.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had ABVD chemo will share their advice and experiences with you soon but if you'd like to have a quick chat with our cancer nurses about this you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We also have some information about managing the side effects of ABVD chemo on our website just here.

    I hope you're able to get a good nights sleep again soon Barksy.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

    Thanks Steph,

    I have an appointment with my Haematology nurse this afternoon, hopefully she will be able to prescribe something for the insomnia!
