Second chemotherapy treatment, feeling bruised?

[Ann Cronin]

Hi, all,

I had my second chemotherapy treatment last Thursday. Just starting today I feel bruised all over, like I've been beat up. Is this a common side effect? I'm on Cisplatin & Alitma. Thanks in advance for input!

I'm sure someone will be along who can answer that, but I think it's always recommended to report side effects to your medical team.

Sorry you're feeling beat up--but glad your treatment is moving along.  Hang in there!

I had Cisplatin and Alimta and didn't have this particular side effect. But everyone's reaction to chemo is different. Agree you should report this to your Oncologist. I was encouraged (and still am) to report everything to my Oncologist''s APN.
