Hi everyone, i started my first AC chemo this week post lumpectomy for grade 3 hormonal positive BC (Unfortunately I had anaphylactic reaction to the doxorubicin (red devil ! ) and needed HDU. My team is now transferring my care to a city hospital with allergy specialists and ICU support to consider a chemotherapy desensitisation. Has anyone had a similar experience?and how did you go about. Don’t meant to scary anyone else , as everyone has a different experience.Thanks
WowNm80 I’ve heard of desensitising to other allergies so it’s obviously possible. How far do you have to travel to get to this city hospital.
by the way welcome to the club of Breast Cancers fighters. Try the search Bar at the top something from the past might crop up. I’m afraid my only reaction to all the various treatments has been an itch that wont scratch. Antihistamine fixes that. And mouth and nose sores which comes and goes I’m way down the track of treatment.
If you’re rural or have to travel a distance there are government subsidies- depends on the State you live in to level of help.
I’ve been a bit out of touch on here lately just starting to catch up. Hopefully someone can jump on with some more direct help. Hopefully you have been appointed a breast care Nurse of some sort. They are usually the best source of information and
NEVER EVER dr google, go to the reputable sites like cancer council and here. Check out the various podcast on here as well.
