What a brutal way to stop a disease. How on earth can they even determine how much and what kind to give you?

@janewilliams2352

I had a big operation to remove my reproductive system which was full of stage 4 cancer . Im 46 years old and live in Sydney Australia. I had 6 sessions of chemo ( Paclitaxel and Carboplatin) and only had a bit of occasional pain in my left leg . I was given a new drug called " Akynzeo" prior to each chemo session at the hospital. It is a new capsule designed to help with nausea . I experienced no nausea at all whilst going through treatment. I had a PET dye scan which came back clear of cancer . So I beat stage 4 cancer in 5 months !

They last for the rest of your life. It's the gift that keeps on giving......😢

I have been told to use ice gloves and boots to stop peripheral neuropathy when I start my next course of chemo paclitaxel

@americafirst6628

Breast Cancer chemo, radiation and major surgery. 5 yrs out. The neuropathy is horrid. I will never recommend. Swollen feet, legs. The nerve damage is very painful. Both hands, both feet. And up my legs spasms with turning or twisting. Aches. Pains. No bueno. Prayers for all......

@martdod

Many never go away. I know that as fact. I’m one of the 3% that lived though their barbaric treatment and would never do it again. Trading quality for quantity is cruel. They didn’t tell me that was the deal.

@nora768

The nausea is unbelievable. I find it the worst, then comes fatigue and the inability to sleep. You are a great speaker, thank you for no ums and ahs.

@cynthiayee5116

During chemo ..the nurse kept my feet and fingers covered with thick Ice pack ..it helped me a lot to avoid the tingling fingers and toes

@bobbipetty7411

Had my first chemo a few days ago. I'm done, not going through hell again.

@carolbraswell4488

I finished my chemotherapy almost 6 weeks ago, and I still have good and bad days. I still have herceptin every 3 weeks until next May. Radiation is next, and praying it will go smoothly. Thank you for all the information and teaching us what to expect!!

@naththomas9946

Thank you, Dr. Griggs, for your medical advice (very helpful).

@johngrafton6868

I would like to add to this topic. Going thru cancer twice, the worst item that comes to mind years later is insomnia, or really thinking that you aren't sleeping at all. I came to the point of begging the hospital EM to put me to sleep. They would only do that if I threatened suicide . My sister looked in on me and observed that I had been sleeping and I swore I hadn't. I went thru HELL. The problems with radiation and Chemo is really it doesn't really take affect until your last treatment. Then it gets worse. If you are treated for any oral or throat cancer, GET a feeding tube before treatment!!!!!!!!! Very important! I had IVa tongue cancer and stage 2Bc T2N1 SCC throat cancer.

Men with breast cancer. I went to Stanford for a second opinion regarding my mBC. When I arrived at the department, the signage was "Woman's Breast Cancer Center." I fatuously thought that Stanford is so advanced, there was a "Men's Breast Cancer center." When I asked a passing RN where the men's department was, she looked at me like I was a 51/50. After a endoscopy and a biopsy of the new metz and several scans they showed that the tumor on top of my trachea is expanding at an alarming rate. In 2005 when my doctor ordered a mammogram, my insurance company refused to pay for it because "I was the wrong sex for a mammogram." I paid for it.

Hi, Iam so thankful to Yerbba for the information . My mum was diagnosed with her+stage 3. She is starting chemo in the 26.09.2023.

@TerryLH

I was diagnosed with breast cancer and two lymph nodes in Jan of 2022. Got through chemo radiation , immunotherapy and surgery but after stopping chemo, two months later I woke up with severe rheumatoid arthritis. I’m still struggling to walk and am on medication. Will this ever go away but I thank God I am in remission.
