Red face Chemotherapy (BEP) and the CAA

Hi all

Was diagnosed with testicular cancer a couple of weeks ago and had the op a few days later. I have just had my initial appointment with the oncologist today, who has recommended 1 cycle of adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of Bleomycin, Etoposid and Cisplatin (BEP)

The oncologist however raised the issue asking if the CAA have any objections to the use of Bleomycin? The reason he asks is that apparently Bleomycin can have some side effects on the lungs..

The alternative would be to have 2 cycles of EP.

Just wondering if if anyone here has been through chemo for TC, and whether of not they had issues with the Bleomycin affecting their Class One medical?


Thanks
