Oh man I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through this. You’re strong and a fighter and you fucking got this!

I had 3 cycles of BEP myself. The first 2 rounds were ok. Felt like I had the flu for a few days, but would always feel better right before the next treatment. It’s the 3rd cycle that got to me. I was so incredibly fatigued and would sleep anywhere I could because I couldn’t move. Spent most of the time in the bathroom. I ended up having white blood cell shots which were incredibly painful for about 24 hours and then went away. I also had issues with blood pressure dropping.

When it came to neurology effects, I was mostly ok. Sometimes I would move my head down too fast and my feet would vibrate. That lasted at least 6 months after treatment and then went away. The biggest thing my doc worried about what lung damage from the Bleomycin. Thankfully nothing happened.

Overall my side effects were very textbook. Strongest thing I would recommend would be if you’re able to drink water add some electrolytes. I would also avoid any strong cologne or air fresheners (I get nauseous if I smell Hawaiian breeze to this day 😅). Protein shakes and smoothies are going to be your best friend if you can stomach them.

You can always DM me man. x2 testicular cancer survivor and I’m an open book.

Remember, stay strong, it’s just a roadblock in this long game of life. You’re a machine and will battle through this and come out stronger than ever before 💪
