I've recently started treatment with Vincristine (Vincasar PFS 1mg/ml Inj, 1ml) and am trying to prepare for the potential side effects. The list is intimidating, and I'm looking for some perspective from others who have been through this. I'm particularly worried about the nervous system problems and kidney issues. Has anyone else had these, and how did you manage? Also, what are some strategies for dealing with the more common side effects like hair loss and constipation? Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I've started treatment with Vincasar Pfs (Vincristine) for lymphoma, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar side effects or has advice on managing them. The urgent side effects list is quite scary, and I'm hoping to hear from others who have gone through this. How did you cope with the potential nervous system problems or the risk of serious bowel issues? Any tips for dealing with the more common side effects like nausea or constipation would also be greatly appreciated. Let's support each other through this journey.
