I’m so grateful for this forum and everyone’s contributions over the years. It’s helped to demystify a lot, especially chemotherapy. I’m less fearful and much more informed than I would have been without it.
Still there are some personal things I’m apprehensive about; I have a lot of reactions to medications and chemicals. I have reactions to a lot of antibiotics. When I had the biopsy recently the adhesive on the clear film that is used over surgical wound dressing caused blood blisters and rash and the ciprofloxacin seemed to cause an allergic response of fluid buildup behind my ear drum and a bad headache. I’ve only have skin reactions to antibiotics in the past.
Also, I’m an audio engineer for my livelihood, and although I don’t make a living as a musician, music is an important part of my life, so I’m concerned about tinnitus and hearing loss.
But I trust that I’m in good hands, and they’re aware of these things, so if I communicate any reaction I may have things should be ok.
I’ll be starting the 4xEP tomorrow morning. I believe I’ll have a CT following this week of chemo and if adrenal and liver involvement are ruled out, EP will continue. If not it will switch to 3xVIP.
