5 down and 1 to go!!
HI everyone of you lovely people,
Hope you are holding up under the strain. Just wanted to share with you. I had my second last chemo (docetaxel + herceptin) today. I had a reallybad reaction to the docetaxel. I went really hot, thought I was going to pass out, couldnt breath and turned red. And that was just a few seconds of the drugs going in. So everything stopped. Nurses and doctor came from everywhere( have to keep them on there toes poor things) and fixed me up really quick. I had to have another drug for half hour then slowly start the docetaxel and turn up the rate very slowly so it took forever the put that one through then had the herceptin (no drama's there). I am now known as "the problem child".
So I arrived at 9am and left at 4pm. Another long day and feel very tired but ok. So time will tell if i get anything like the last time. I have lots of drugs to combat pain, thrush, nausea and mouth ulcers. See how I go.
So there you go. 5 down and one more chemo to go then continue on with herceptin for a year and tamoxifen for 5 years. Bring on 2016.
I hope you are hanging in there. {{GENTLE HUGS}} to everyone.
