Not long enough
Day 19 - after round three
Well that went way too fast! Spent the weekend away at Sussex Inlet on the the South Coast. We've been going to the South Coast for years now and Sussex holds special mem...
What is it about the South Coast??? That's where I left my eyebrows 6 weeks ago!!!!! Since then I've also lost all my eyelashes. I look like a turtle. LOL.
I also had docetaxal, with the dexamethasone, as well as the neulasta. The dexamethasone (steroids) made me feel like superwoman for 3 days!!!!! I felt like I could do anything when I took those steroids. Just be aware that they can make you stay awake at night so my nurse said take them in the morning and lunch time. I did all my neulasta injections. It's really easy and because the needle is so thin I didn't feel a thing. You may get bone pain a week after you take the neulasta when it really kicks in to make your super new white blood cells. It is completely manageable but for some women pain killers don't work but anti inflammatories do. I learnt that the hard way. If you get bone pain just ring your chemo nurse and they will set you with the right meds.
Good luck with it all.
