Hi Lisa1407
Thanks so much for your reply.
My Oncologist was expecting me to have terrible diarrhoea too but instead I have had terrible constipation for which I take coloxil senna each night. All my hair fell out at the beginning after only two treatments but strangely now is starting to grow back a bit - perhaps due to the lower dose.
I am also being treated at a big Melbourne hospital and my oncologist now has quite a few Trodelvy patients - she says that she has had to reduce everyone's dose because people just can't get out of bed.
I have a friend on chemo who has used medicinal cannabis very successfully but to counter anxiety not gastric problems. 12 kilos is a lot to lose. I lost about 8ks last year on my first lot of chemo because it made me throw up so much but Trodelvy has not done that and I have regained that weight. It sounds like you will need another reduction. The trials showed that the reduced dose still works.
Do stay in touch and hope you can get the side effects under control.
Best wishes xx
