Goodmorning @GinGin 😊
Your hair lose is sooner than expected, but it's good getting it over and done with I reckon 😄
I've got that same jab the day after mine is Pegfilgrastim.. Like you Gin I couldn't wait to see my first lot of blood results too..
I'm TCH T is DoceTaxel C is Carboplatin and H is for Herceptin witch is my targeted therapy, because my cancer is Her2 positive . I'm 6 cycles of TCH every 3 weeks , then just my H continues for another 10 cycles, I was told, soon after the TCH was finished, I'd have Lumpectomy. And if need be radiation.. My ovaries will come out sometime as well, but because of the chemo treatment for my breasts it isn't as urgent now,, they picked up the ovarian during my PET scan to see if the lump in my boob had wiggled its way to my lymph nodes...
SO im gunna be a busy girl early next year with a couple of trip to hospital 😃😁😝
You were given the right info by your team , most side effects aren't usually cumulative, like nausea or constipation, dry mouth etc.. the kind of nicer side effects if you can call them that, Not ! Lol
But some of the more worrying, like peripheral neuropathy, nerve damage that causes tingly fingers and toes, can become numbness and can cause problems long after chemo,, but we are monitored so closely im not worried, but my tingly toe and finger tips have become whole fingers and kind of half feet lol its strange feeling and only annoying so far, no burning sensation, so not painful..
Well that's how I think the cumulative thing works anyways, but as everyone says , "everyones journey/ treatment/reaction is different "
But I will definitely keep my fingers crossed your side effects don't get any worse😊
Only if you have time, I love hearing from you lovely ladies. Sharing with eachother 💕
Take care of you, Big cuddle 🤗
