1st chemo summary

Well after 1st chemo of doxetacel and carboplatin ( Herceptin paperwork not done ) on the 4th August the hair is very quickly bidding me a fond farewell. This gives me the security of knowing the drugs are hitting my body hard, I know that's weird but I have been waiting eagerly for this sign, just a bit of re-assurance I think.

All the standard other yuks that come with it have also appeared but i tell you all ladies I am very glad I had a portacath put in, making it very easy, next cycle on the 25th and my cells were down so I have to have some strong antibiotic injections at home after it , has anyone else dont this?
