I thought I was having chemo and immuno together which all I could think was a double whammy of side effects! But looking again it doesn’t look that way I think they call it maintenance but how will work? I have 2 x 2 hrs sessions then 3 week break? Maybe someone can explain from this:
Can you take someone with you? They may be a great second set of ears.
Well apparently I will have a meeting prior to treatment starting getting bloods done etc steroid given so my chance to ask anything then. I haven’t had an mri I hope I don’t have to have one of them! That will scare me to death. I really am a mess arnt I ?
Maybe you can call your doctor on Monday for clarification. It's imperative to understand the treatment plan and it sounds like you still have questions that need to be answered.
So what does it mean ‘on day one’
What about day two? This scares me more to have all the side effects from all three drugs in one go?
To me it looks like you will be treated with all 3 drugs every 3 weeks for whatever the number of treatments they are planning. THEN the carboplatin is over so it drops off and you continue with the other 2 drugs every 3 weeks for a total of 35 treatments.
