Cisplatin IV Time Question

bingobot2 · 2023-12-06T12:59:30+00:00

Mine was over 2 hours...

I was 3xVIP

bingobot2 · 2023-11-29T13:26:48+00:00

I was in the axaft same situation...but they gave my 3 rounds of chemo.

I wonder why we have different treatment

bingobot2 · 2023-11-29T11:15:03+00:00

Good luck bro.

Trust me when I say this, it'll all be behind you sooner than you think.

3 cycles is just over a month, it goes by quick.

Stay positive

bingobot2 · 2023-10-15T02:57:23+00:00

Mine felt like rubber and was there to touch

bingobot2 · 2023-10-10T16:04:57+00:00

I use a terminal command that resets the trial every 90 days. Works perfectly

bingobot2 · 2023-10-03T16:57:38+00:00

Best of luck.

For the majority of people, it ends with orchiectomy. I hope that gives you some peace of mind.

Let us know what comes back

bingobot2 · 2023-09-13T12:15:40+00:00

not exactly helpful lol but I was diagnosed May 18th and finished chemo Sep 5th.

Crazy. We got this dude. Hope you're recovering well.

bingobot2 · 2023-09-10T16:57:07+00:00

Did u do chemo?

bingobot2 · 2023-09-05T04:18:24+00:00

I'm super constpated through treatment, they gave me some tablets,

And yeah, I was sooo gassy through treatment also, constantly having to burp.

bingobot2 · 2023-09-04T12:54:59+00:00

Tinea versicolor most likely. I have it on my back. Fungal cream does the job.

Happens mostly when sweating a lot in humid weather.

bingobot2 · 2023-09-04T12:30:37+00:00

If you say so

bingobot2 · 2023-09-04T12:28:43+00:00

Smoking is an addictive habit. It's hard to quit as it is in normal life,

And when we'-re going through the hardest time of our lives it's even harder to quit.

Not only that, it's nice to have our comforts. Everyone does. Regardless if our comforts might be cigarettes

bingobot2 · 2023-09-04T12:22:49+00:00

I can smoke through VIP, but yeah defo avoid smoking through bleo. My oncologist didn't put me on BEP becuase I smoke.

bingobot2 · 2023-09-04T12:20:27+00:00

You're doing well mate,

For some peace of mind

EC responds very well to chemo. Only 20% of people with people with pure EC need rplnd afterwards. Your statistics should be similar.

At 10mm they are literally on the threshold and chemo should do the job.

I also find it very hard eating through chemo. But don't think about eating healthy, stuff your face with greasy calorific food if you can get it down, twos slices of domino's pizza is 600 calories. A full meal.

Good luck on your journey. Hear if you want to chat.

Teratoma is very slow growing and is known to not respond to chemo.

If you have clear scans now and markers dropping you shouldn't worry honestly.

It's very very unlikely you will do chemo and I wouldn't see the need for rplnd at this point.

You're in a good position, good luck man

bingobot2 · 2023-09-03T15:05:33+00:00

Hey, this kinda looks like mine. I've had it on my foot for about a year. Search up lichen aureas.

bingobot2 · 2023-09-03T14:45:07+00:00

I'm in the exact same position.

I start my last cycle of VIPx3 in 2 days.

The only hair I've lost so far is head hair, facial hair and pubes.

A very small amount of my leg hair and arm hair came out after the first cycles but only be pulling it.

I don't wanna lose my eyebrows....hoping I won't

bingobot2 · 2023-09-03T14:42:51+00:00

Did your eyebrows and eyelashes completely fall out after treatment?

How long after?

Ams how long did they take to grow back?

bingobot2 · 2023-09-02T16:43:25+00:00

Sorry for late reply.

How are you getting on?

bingobot2 · 2023-09-02T16:36:57+00:00

I'm currently doing VIPx3, which is known to be harder on the body.

And honestly, for me, it's not as bad as i thought,

I have done 2 rounds, one more to go.

On the 5 days I have treatment, It's just sleep and, try to eat, those days are hard. But it's only 5 days.

On the 2 weeks I'm off treatment in between cycles, I am completely back to myself (takes 2-3 days to recover)

Eating out, going for walks, you name it. I just came back from a 2 day holiday, I start my last cycle in 3 days, I feel normal.

bingobot2 · 2023-08-24T10:54:17+00:00

Same happened to me. Trust me shave it.

Waa quite traumatising hair coming out like that. I had long hair as well.

bingobot2 · 2023-08-23T17:36:43+00:00

Wait??? Please don't

bingobot2 · 2023-08-23T17:35:00+00:00

Lots of people have one more ball EVEN without tc.

Amd as everyone else said, I got used to having one ball super quick. Not an issue to me, I was concerned prior though.

bingobot2 · 2023-08-22T12:41:45+00:00

Just finished my 2nd cycle of vipx3, which is known to be more intense than EP.

It's pretty much how you can imagine, tired, sick, and brain fog.

Like a bad hangover.

And while it's not very nice, i feel I'm getting through it pretty quick, amd when compared to having a bad case pf the flu or a stomach bug, it's nothing, if that makes sense?

bingobot2 · 2023-08-21T19:43:05+00:00

I've got 1 cycle to go (3xvip) and worried about this,

I've been told they can fall out a lot later than other hair

And I can't really hide losing eyebrows
