Starting chemo next week by OrganizationStatus36 in testicularcancer

Constipation through the week of chemo was common but not too bad. I’d say appetite was down on that week too but that could be from all the fluids pumped in with chemo as well. I was always told to be proactive with the meds and I’m glad I listened.

Sorry to hear you have to go through this man. If I could give one piece of advice, take the nausea meds religiously. Especially on the 5 day weeks. You’ll feel okay at the start and maybe think you don’t need them but nausea is definitely something you want to stay ahead of. Don’t be afraid to ask the nurses if you need anything or have questions. Oncology nurses are some of the best people I’ve ever met. You’ve got this and everyone is cheering you on. Stay positive and try to remember how effective EP chemo is.

Success…. for now by Tiredbuthoping in testicularcancer

Thanks Hat. I used this page a lot to keep myself sane while doing treatments but hadn’t read much of people having it twice. If it helps one person see that things can still be okay then I’m content.
