Guest guest Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I just finished 6 cycles of R-FND the first week of August. My followup PET scan is 22 September. These are the side effects I experienced; 1. Weight gain: From the Decadron steroids 2. General feelings of unwellness, a couple days I felt as if I wanted to crawl out of my own body to get away. 3. Sleep issues 4. Constipation 5. Occasional headaches (mild) 6. Mood swings to the negative side 7. And severe fatigue (but I often could not sleep) Hope this helps. From my research I have learned that each patient reacts differently to most chemo treatments. I did three cycles of R-CVP directly before R-FND and was warned both times my hair would either thin significantly or fall out completely. Never did either of those. My nose hair disappeared completely tho. That's a good thing. I am 54 and Dx'd this past November.
