Sorry for not being around (hospital)

I had a temp the other night, but thankfully it only got to 37.5 I will get neulasta from next cycle. So hopefully we will avoid that issue for the rest of AC. Glad to hear your home again. xx Dan xx

Hi Shaz

Just letting you know, I am sending big hugs to you.

I know you will be lucky and get thru all this horrible stuff.

Hang in there sister !!!!

Love Julie XX

Thanx everyone, looking forward to these last 3 chemo cycles being over, then it is just Herceptin.

I have been pretty lucky though as apart from this hiccup, and loss of appetite and lack of interest in food (and weight loss - lost 2.5kg in the last 3 weeks - only weight loss of chemo so far though, and workign hard to prevent more), FATIGUE andoccasional abdo pains/cramps and joint/ muscle pains, i have been pretty good, NOWHERE near as bad as I thought it would be. EVerything has been something I could deal with and I haven't had to or wanted to postpone any of my cycles.

I am hoping the neulasta, will prevent another neutropenic attack, and I can deal with bone etc pains (I have stron pain killers on hand - for my pre-existing conditions, so can take them).

Hello,

I also had to have this injection the day after chemos.  I found it made my bones ache for about 3 days after it but apparently this is normal and what is supposed to happen.

 

Good Luck with your further treatment

Sorry you had to go through all that, but glad you are home now and it seems ready and eager to finnish of these last 2 rounds and move on, you are one strong lady and I am in awe of your strength and courage keep up the great work

Cheers Narelle

Hi Shaz

I had definitely been wondering where you were and I was worried about you and I can see now I had good reason.  You poor luv.  Very scary.  Thank goodness I haven't had to endure that at all yet and I now only have one more Taxotere to go on 20 June all being well.  It is definitely a fear I have had in the back of my mind the whole time and have packed an emergency hospital bag in the ready as instructed :-)

I have had to have the Neulasta injection since my first chemo because my white cell count has always been so low.  I now give it to myself the day after chemo as I am too far away to get back up to the hospital.  And for me yes I have found that it does give me even more bone pain on top of the Taxotere.  I don't use Dexamethasone as I have enough trouble with what symptoms that causes me with anxiety, panic attacks, buzzing etc when I do have to take that.  I use pain killers as Panadol doesn't work for me.  I went to my GP today who has prescribed a pain patch for me because I have such a long extended time of pain. 

I wish you a full recovery from the Neutropenia and hope you are doing better now.  Glad you back on board kiddo.

Mich xoxo
