Taxol 2
Today I had my second dose of Taxol. With this chemo I have to take pre chemo drugs BEFORE treatment but don't need drugs AFTER treatment.
Each week will be different as the oncologist observes how I am reacting to the Taxol.
For this second dose I only needed to take 2 Dex tablets at bedtime as well as one Zantac - this also helps prevent nausea and heartburn. Then 2 more Dex on waking; and a Zanatc and Claratyne an hour before treatment.
At the clinic the oncologist decided to go with a vein on the side of my wrist as the elbow site was still a bit sore. Took bloods then dripped in some pre chemo Dex. Then an hour of Taxol dripping in. Always finish with a bit of saline flushing.
All fine and again feeling pretty good considering!
