Please find a list of possible side effects of when taking etoposide and carboplatin together here. Hopefully this is useful and if you are concerned about anything, I'd recommend you contact your medical team.
My husband lost his hair and appetite after second chemo session. He responded really well to the first session of chemo. But the second session absolutely knocked him for 6. . And he is cold! He wears thermals with fleece lined outdoor clothes and is still cold. Everyone reacts differently though.
Thanks so much [@Hopeinhell]. It's so hard to know what to expect so really appreciate you getting back. Hope your husband keeps positive and gets through it! Lots of love xx
Hello, I had the cancer drugs 15 years ago and had very little side effects but i would say it would depend on each Patients body.
I was initially diagnosed 15 yrs ago and my fiirst awareness of these drugs was after a tumour the size of a cricket ball was removed from my left upper rib cage. After Surgery i had six months of this treatment and went straifght back to work and was full on enjoying my great job with no problems for five years before it returned to my liver and i am now on another treatment.Still Alive.
Being cold i would say personally that it is factor of having cancer? I find it very very cold in the winter and cant wait for the Spring like now.x
Thanks @andydorro1, so sorry to hear the cancer has returned. Hope this treatment is going well for you! Stay strong and hopefully the good weather will be here soon xx
You also get tired early so off to bed for me with a good book. Keep warm plenty of layers or some cheap sports thermals from a well known sports shop. Clue Owner Mike Ashley Newcastle United FC.Apparently, they are cheap but relaible i am informed.
