Dose Dense side effects

Public Archive

Hi there,

I have just started Dose Dense chemo, had my first session last week.

The day of the treatment was horrible but since then I’m not too bad, just tired.

I have been told by the doctors that the next 3 will be very tough.

Is there anyone who have had dose dense chemo and can share their experiences and side effects ?

The less surprises I have the better.

Many thanks,

Lindy x

Hi lindy15

I wondered if you might find some support on the chemo monthly threads, even though your regimen is different .  These threads are started by members beginning their chemo in the same month.  I’ve attached the link for June2015:

Very best wishes
