Newly diagnosed nurse

I hope you're on the mend now, Mary. I didn't have diverticulitis but I did have a total nightmare during AC chemo. I was hospitalised for a total of 56 days over the 12 weeks (4 doses), with horrible febrile neutropenia (even with the neulasta injections). I also had an awful raised rash from head to toe and ulcers from a - Z in my digestive tract. Also got acute pancreatitis and had a liquid lunch with Count Dracula twice (two units of blood each time) due to severe anemia. My last dose was delayed by eight days and reduced by 25%. I got through 12 X Paclitaxel (and herceptin) without further hospital admissions. I was glad I stuck it out as the post surgery pathology showed a total pathological response with no live cancer cells found in either removed breast or nodes. I hope thing go better for you now...it does end.
