I had a hard time with 1 x BEP. But most people do very well. I had chemo brain for months after. I was neutropenic for 2 weeks which was quite scary. It's a powerful treatment even though it's still only 1 cycle.
All serum markers (blood taken on 5 Aug) post Orchiectomy (11 July) back to normal according to my oncologist so that is excellent news.
I am just waiting for the copy of my pathology, but the doctor says there nothing to worry about.
It is taking a bit of time due to all the South African public holidays during election week last week.
Other then that, I am feeling great!Last edited by zobo; 08-20-16, 09:14 AM.

Hi everyone! I've just competed my long week 1X BEP and feeling all good. The weekend will be hard, but positive I will make it all the way. I had a bit of tinnitus last night but this morning I was fine. Next Bleomycin shot scheduled Tuesday (23/08) morning and my last on the following week (30/08). Followup appointment has been scheduled on 9 November with the oncologist for the routine checks and bloods. Kind Regards Rudie
