I should have known that everything was running too smoothly.

I´m so sorry! Chemo has unpredictably side effects as every person is different. I shed off all my hair. In fact, my best friends came to shave my head before that happened. y male friend, witty as he is, told me that I should be wearing stripped pajamas I´m glad that your problems solved easily. In my case, after the first 2 chemos, I had to have some shots to manage my lack of defenses.

Thankfully your throat is better now. If that was a chemotherapy side effect I wonder if there is anything they can do differently to prevent a recurrence.

Chemotherapy is very powerful stuff. I am glad your brother was able to get you someone to look into your throat swelling and hurting.

I am so sorry you have developed a few complications. After the first two sessions for my sister in law, she too had a few complications. This delayed her sessions also. This is normal. They want your health perfect before they will administer the tretment again. Please take care and hope all is well with you.

I am glad you acted fast. Its okay if you take a break with chemo, the doctor told Tony he could break if it got to be to much. To save your feelings just shave the hair, that is what Tony did and I have never known any man love his hair as much as he did, its a few months since the last chemo and all of his hair is back. I am glad you`re okay

I'm sorry you had a problem with your chemo. I hope it goes well next time.

Sorry to hear of the throat problem. I have a scratchy throat from the smoke in the area so I know how uncomfortable it can be. Glad they are able to keep you improved after these onsets.

sounds like they are just being cautious in waiting - the hair loss at least is only to be expected

when I first read you had issues I wondered if your next sessions would be delayed... glad the issues were taken cared of.

I am so sorry. I feared something was wrong when I noticed you were not around. I hope you feel better today.

I wondered if you would develop any problems after you started the chemotherapy treatments. Losing your hair while getting chemo is fairly normal. (You could tell anyone you believe is staring at your scalp that your "beast" needed more sunlight on the "roof" so he could "roar" louder! Then watch them to see if they understand the joke!) And some of the reason I am DaddyEvil just leaked out again! Sorry! I thought I was keeping that contained fairly well for you lately... ) By chance, was the throat issue caused by the beginning stages of an allergic reaction? (Both times the doctors tried to give me chemo mixes my throat swelling closed was the main reason for me spending days in the hospital! That is also the reason I refused to let them give me a third chemo treatment. The second treatment had been cut to half strength. I wasn't willing to go through more stays in the hospital even if they cut the dosage again.)

Praying you'll get better each day. Is your throat ok now?

Overall a positive update despite the discomfiture over swallowing. I know your attitude and that you are a fighter. Press on - siva

Take care !

Hope you are okay.

I hope it wasn't an allergic reaction. I am glad however that they were able to resolve it.

What caused that and how did they remedy it? When my father was on chemo he lost hair first, then developed a rash all over his face, it eventually went away but I don't remember how long it lasted. There are many side effects to chemo...but it's necessary so stick with the plan.

your brother was smart calling the hot line there.So sorry for this issues .This could be the side effect which some it is dreadful and no fun.

Sorry that you have had a hic cup in your treatment. Hopefully they will be able to continue with it soon!

There are certainly ups and downs when doing a treatment. Hope you are home once again.
