Another side effect is fatigue. First 2 were ok, the third one brought more fatigue. I work a little but have noticed some days I just want to sleep.
Buy many Suzzy Pads, you need to cha ge them every 20 - 25 minutes and they will not freeze easily again (check if they have a freezer where you will do the chemo) . Have your husband / friend/ family come with you and take care of the logistics for the suzzy pads. It takes a lot of work, my husband is tired at the end ! He needs to change both feet and hands every 20 - 25 minutes , by the time he is done, 10 minutea are left.
Everyone apparently reacts differently. What the doctor told me ans I have found it to be true , side effects intensify with evwry treatment due the cumulative effect. I did the cold cap and lost 90% of my hair anyway ( I have small curls and a lot of hair so they told me it might not work). One thing I highly recommend : ice your hands and feet. The damage done to the nerves can be permanent. Icing prevents it. My husband bought Suzzy Pads on Amazon and he changes them every 25 minutes while I am doing chemo .
Hoping your treatment is a success and that you tolerate chemotherapy well.
Hi @A MyOvarianCancerTeam Member, MLA is mesophrenic like adenocarcinoma, a very rare tumor. In February my obgyn found a mass in my ovary, I had surgery beginning of March and pathology report came back saying I had a mixed rumor (clear cell + MLA). I now am NED. I had 3 rounds of chemo, I need to do other 3 rounds.
