Great view from the roller coaster

Hi Deanne, I heard too that the Neulasta can cause bone pain but as I had it with chemo, I couldn't tell whether it did or not. The bone pain I had with Docetaxel was really severe for about two weeks after the infusion. Yeah I have to agree that it was much worse for me than the AC was. I think I'd have rather put up with the nausea and I never thought I'd say that. I actually took an extra Dexamethasone table on about day 3 or 4 to take the edge off the pain and also ibuprofen and paracetamol when needed. I had my second last chemo on 24th June and I actually didn't know that was to be the last. My Onc cancelled the scheduled fourth Docetaxel because of neuropathy in my fingers and toes. She didn't think it was worth the risk of permanent nerve damage so when she told me that I didn't have to do the last one, I was already feeling on the up that comes with week three after the infusion. I think the bone pain is improving somewhat but I have now started on Femara and I'm continuing to have Herceptin every three weeks so I'm getting aches and pain with those and I think my fingers and toes are actually worse (and losing three toe nails). It's a bit confusing as I don't know what's giving me the side effects or whether they are left over from Docetaxel. I feel very much better than when on chemo though and like you I'm sooooooo glad that's done. I'm sending you good vibes that the Neulasta doesn't make your pain worse and that the next few weeks go really quickly. Bring on the finish!!!! Love Janey xxx
