Chemo # 5 (2nd Tax) Day 9
After all the chemos I have been through - I thought I would have it worked out by now. This is my second round of taxotere and the dosage was lowered due to the intense bone pain after the last one...

Poor you Maria i know it all gets too much doesnt it? so much to think of.I had a mastectomey ,16 rounds of chemo, and 33 hits of radiation,and still doing Herceptin 3 weekly . today i had to go and see about getting my ovaries out.Everyone says yay youve finished, but feels like this is never going to end.
Noone can tell you what to do regarding what treatment to take.Just get as much advice and information as you can to help you decide.Unfortunatly there is no definite path to take we just have to hope our medical team know what they are doing.
Like you i had a constant supply of meds but now im only down to a couple.My hot flushes were extreme so they put me on effexor which seemed to help.Now im on exemestane (which is like tamoxifin) and they are back with avengance.It seems i cant win and my bone and joint pain is worsening .Oh My god im so over it!!!Im praying im not like this for the next 5 years they say it settles down fingers crossed.
Dont be too hard on yourself being short with the kids .Id just explain to mine i was having a bad day and they seemed to accept that.I hope things settle down for you and you come to a decision soon that you can be at peace with.Its a hard struggle and we all need a whinge now and then.take care anniex
