This was my second round of chemotherapy, the last round being in 2015. The side effects this were far worse than last time (and they were bad enough), affecting my hands and feet with neuropathy, diarrhoea, nausea, nose bleeds & severe pain my nostrils, severe pain behind my eyes causing my eyes to water & not focus properly. More minor things were a bad taste and my pee smelled really bad. I also had a fair bit of brain fog, not being able to concentrate. I have now finished my last course but am a 12 week lockdown due to the Corona virus! This wasn't a pleasant experience but far better than the alternative.
