What is it like to undergo chemotherapy for leukemia?
not pleasant but not as bad as one is sometimes led to believe. In February I completed six cycles of chemotherapy for C L L and have just been given the news that there was no trace of the disease in either my blood or marrow.It will come back of course but not ,hopefully, for some years. I had quite a bit of discomfort especially during the first two treatments but a combination of drugs called valoid and mottilum controlled the nausea very well .Although I continued to feel unwell through the remainder of the treatments and tiredness was a nuisance it was all worthwhile .Today I feel Absolutely wonderful and would advise anyone who has to undergo chemotherapy to remember that its sole purpose is to return us to good health and destroy the disease that is ruining it.Believe me it is well worth the discomfort.
