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...
Hi Maria
It does really sound like you're doing this part of your chemo treatment pretty hard. Hopefully there will be a couple of easier steps/decsions/times in there soon.
I have one more FEC and then start on the Docetaxol so am reading blogs like yours with extreme interest. The picture I'm getting is not pretty but then at least I'll go in knowing to expect a pretty bad time. I had to have extra fast acting neupogen injections before I could start chemo and experienced a lot of bone pain with them so i'm hoping against hope that it's not too much worse. I am lucky in that I can take and my oncologist didn't hesitate to prescribe Endone. I haven't had to take the maximum dose yet but they certainly ease it for me. So as Justine suggested, ask (demand?) for stronger pain relief.
Take care and I will be thinking of you,
