well the oncologist gave me paperwork describing the side effects of the chemo drugs they will start me on in the new year.....in a nutshell we are talking
numbness
lowered resistance to infection
bruising/bleeding
anaemia
nausea
diarrhea
tiredness/feeling week
breathing problems
allergic reactions
mouth ulcers
taste changes
hair loss
blurred vision
light/heat sensitivity
skin rashes
risk of blood clots
there are more but perhaps i've seen enough already!
if i'm lucky i'll only cop some/a few of them...otherwise I could be suffering with most...
it will be the oncologists job to find the drugs that control or even reduce the tumours and which produce a minimum of side effects....my gp says he's good so i'm optimistic.
