Prostate cancer - starting chemo soon. Does anyone have any advice about the side effects?

Starting chemotherapy.  Had abiraterone for 2.5 years. It worked until recently. Need advice re side effects and work.

  • Hello Keviniz and welcome to Cancer Chat, although I'm sorry to hear the abiraterone you've been having for the last 2 and a half years has stopped working.

    You can find out more about chemotherapy and the side effects that can occur on our website but if you'd like to speak with one of our cancer nurses about this, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very insightful and will do all they can to address your questions and concerns.

    Hopefully some of our members will be along soon to share their experiences and advice as well.

    We're thinking of you Keviniz and wishing you all the best with your treatment.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator

  • Sigh...I am new to all this and can't read forum statements without swearing my head off...which I am doing on your behalf. Total sympathy and love and strength to you.

    If you would like to vent at me as you go through this journey...I offer my ear and texting finger.

    Bravo
