I am doing BEP x 3 chemo for stage 2a non-seminoma 80% embryonal 20% yolk sac cancer. Originally was stage 1a, but in Sept I had 2 para aortic lymph nodes at 1.6 and 1.3 cm seen on CT scan. I am on the 5 day a week plan.
I started BEP Cycle 1 on Sept 26th - BLEO/CIS/ETOP M and CIS/ETOP T-Friday. BLEO again on Monday 3rd and again today on the 10th. Technically, I am finished with cycle 1 treatments.
So far the nausea has not been bad at all. The worst symptoms have been fatigue, headaches, chills (flu like symptoms), severe hear loss and ringing in ears, bone pain from the Nuelasta, and severe indigestion. (I am currently taking tramadol, tylenol and claritin for the bone pain. Sucralfate, Ranitidine and mylanta for indigestion - works like magic. Sudafed for my ears - this has helped SOO much!! Anyone who has the ringing problem...try sudafed).
I am curious what is in store for cycle 2? Do the symptoms worsen? Does the nausea get worse? Thanks in advance for any help!!
