Oh No
How could this be happening to me???!!!
Drug or Chemo Therapy
I did six rounds of chemo, cisplatin/etopicide and they didn't shrink the tumors and by the time the sixth treatment rolled around I really felt awful! The decodron they had me on cause me to have esophagitis..the whole thing kinda sucked
Side Effects
This person has yet to add any details about this experience.
Radiation
I was exhausted after 15 double doses of chest radiation and then 10 PCI. The chest radiation burnt a hole in my esophagus! what a nightmare trying to get any liquids down,much less solids
Procedure or Surgery
I had an adrenal ablation that made me very weak and ended up with post ablation syndrome(flu like symptoms)
Celebration
well the radiation was worth it because the tumors are shrinking!!
