Day 3 of chemo, so very early days for me. Only side effect so far is the taste of water which I found disgusting at first but I am gradually getting used to.
Thought I would be more tired than I am, and that the drugs would help me to sleep better, but had a very restless night last night.

Thank you for your message Dawn.
I think my paraprotein levels are 571 but I’m not sure. I was given so much information at my last consultation that it was difficult to take it all in. I’m sorry to hear that you suffered badly with the neuropathy, that is one of the side effects that concerns me.
Will post an update on here after my first chemo…[Read more]

Hi Dawn
I hope that you are doing well and don’t mind me posting on your thread.
I am due to start VTD next week, and it is encouraging to hear some of the comments on here regards the side effects.
I am by nature a very positive person, and I suppose my main concern regarding the drugs is not the physical pain but the emotional effects.
