Yondelis (Trabectedin) is a chemotherapy drug used to treat advanced soft tissue sarcoma and ovarian cancer. It interferes with the DNA inside cancer cells, preventing them from growing and spreading. As with any powerful medication, Yondelis comes with potential side effects, both urgent and less severe. For those considering or currently undergoing treatment with Yondelis, what's your experience been like? Have you encountered any of the more severe side effects, and if so, how did you manage them? Any tips for minimizing the less severe side effects would be greatly appreciated. I'm particularly interested in hearing from those who have dealt with tissue damage at the injection site. I've heard it can be quite painful, so any advice on prevention or treatment would be valuable.
