Taxol no.2, Herceptin no.1

Wide wide awake and it's 11pm. Big day doing heart scan, taxol and Herceptin. Almost feel I've had yippee beans at chemo and you know what their name is Dexmethsone!

  • Took the sleeping tablet last night, was still awake a good hour and half later, mind whirling. So the battle between Dexmethsone and Temtabs was not going well! Eventually fell asleep around 2.30am. Side effects: hand and legs aching.

  • Fun stuff heh!!  All necessary though to help us through the chemo.  When I was on chemo, I had so much energy the day prior to treatment due to Dex.  There was a positive - my house was gleaming!!!!   Downside of course - hard to sleep.  As you know it will settle down after a couple of days.  Hang in there - you will get through.
