I started this past monthly on a 3xBEP regimen. So
far I have been more tired then usual and have
headaches. Rest and tylenol are helping me to feel
decent. I usually here that the 1st cycle is not too
bad but cycles 2 and 3 get worse. But I guess
everyone is different. My cancer has spread into my
lymph nodes and I have no marker readings. This is
concerning to me since markers are a good way of
seeing if the cancer is going away, staying away, etc.

Thanks for your message,
Allan
