Meds before Chemo
Hi all you wonderful women! Just wondering why I have not been given any meds to take the night before chemo? I am triple negative and starting on 4 x AC every 2 weeks and then 4 x taxol every 2 week...
@Cynth6 I too had the dexmethasone give me a itchy butt. The nurse said "I haven't had this but they tell me it will make your bum prickle" no sooner than she said it my butt was prickling away. If she hadn't told me I would have been thinking WTF!
@Spiv1803 I had dexmethasone & anti nausea by IV before chemo started & Dex to take 2 days after as well but nothing day's prior to chemo. Round 2 tomorrow!
@Unicornkisses were you sick with the FEC or just low blood count? I had a lot of vomiting & nausea first time round regardless of steroids & antinausea. I have doxetaxel after 3 rounds of FEC.
