So I have survived my first round of chemo two weeks ago! All in all I think I have done well. A list of side effects as long as my arm but all very minor so yay!
Did anyone else get a ringing, tinny sound in their ears? It's been driving me nuts.
I also thought I'd update on the cooling cap. I gave it a go - not a pleasant experience I must admit. But two weeks in and no hair loss on my head yet. Still time for it to happen I know but it's looking positive so far.
Hi Dany,
Welcome to the Online Network. Thank you for jumping in and sharing your experience.

Hi Gurneys, I had FEC and on my first round got ringing in my right ear... often at a certain time of night. Just as I was going to sleep. It lasted off and on through the whole of the first three months but went away once I started the Dox. Everyone said it couldn't be the chemo, but now chemo is done haven't had a single ring. Best of luck....
Glad your side effects were mild! :)
I had terrible side effects and it literally knocked me off my feet! No ringing in my ears, however I have noticed I have way more wax in them! If it persists though I;d tell the dr's or nurses...it could be tinnitus?
Good to hear feedback on the cooling caps....they aren't available in most clinics (including mine) I have heard it's not pleasant, but hey none of this is pleasant! Hope it helps with the hair loss.
Wishing you all the best with the rest of your treatments.

No ringing but I did get ear aches which came and went. Now the insides of my ears are itchy and that drives me crazy.
