    Hi Suran

    Welcome to the site and sorry to hear about the side effects you are suffering with. Steven is right,  It would be very wise to contact your chemo team and tell them what is happening - if they know, they can help you.  They will be able to give you medication to help with sickness, pain, etc and advise you regarding your voice loss etc.  It may transpire that you need dose reductions of some drugs for your next cycle and they really need to know what is going on so that they can get your treatment plan right for you!!!!!!!  Rest as much as you need and please please ring the team today! x
