Sitting here at 4:15am (CST) after trying since 2:30am to go back to sleep and finally giving up, yet again... Wondering who else is out there this morning, and most mornings at this time?
No @"Kiwi Angel" I was decidedly unprepared! My son brought my laptop so I could work but I can’t connect to a server so I’ve been on my phone all day. I’ll take advice from @AllyJay and have a bag ready next time!
Hi @Eastmum , only during the AC chemo..thankfully. No hospitalisation during the taxol, but bear in mind, I have other (as they put it soooo nicely) co morbid medical conditions as well. It will indeed pass and will soon be just a nasty memory xoxo
Hi @AllyJay I remember you saying this earlier and was hoping it wouldn’t be the same for me. Did it happen during Taxol as well? I’m chilled now - glad I’m in the right place though really dying to get home. “This too shall pass” xxxx
Hi there @Eastmum ...I also had febrile neutropenia after each dose of AC chemo. Clocked up 56 days in all in hospital over that 12 week period. After the first dose and following neutropenia, I had the Neulasta injections, but still became severely neutropaenic with high fever each time. I was told that the Neulasta does not prevent neutropenia, but that it does shorten the time for the neutrophils to bounce back. Enjoy the forced rest and hope you're home soon.
Oh wow @kittykat that’s severe! Was that on AC? You’re making a very good case for me to behave myself and stop trying to talk them in to sending me home! They’re still checking everything - so still hanging in here.
@Eastmum I had the neulasta also every time but still ended up in hospital for 10 days with pneumonia from neutropenia, and another time for 3 days , I hope you recover better than I did. Good luck with everything.
@Eastmum Oh no! What an absolute bugger. I'm glad you got onto it quickly, didn't wait till morning or anything. I hope you feel better soon and are home asap. K xox
