I had four rounds of this with herceptin, which finished in February, thank goodness. The first round I ended up in hospital a week later( which was Boxing Day) because I had no white cells left at all. Released after four days attached to an IV machine and only my husband allowed to visit. The next round, I was told I would have a jab the following day, to help protect those precious white cells. In the meantime I had a reaction to the chemo and came out in a rash on my face, arms, neck and palms of my hands. So I was treated for that as well as the white cell jab, and sent home with phenergan for the rah and endone for the pain from the jab.
Do it went on, each time I had it, my reactions got more pronounced, the scariest was blood from my bowel!!! My oncologist even told me I could stop it after that happened and go on with the herceptin only. Silly me said NO I have got this far I will have the last dose!!!
Since then, feeling a lot better. Hang in there, it is horrible, but so is the thought that the cancer will come back. Docetaxel is so awful I don't think anything would survive easily. Good luck my thoughts are with you on your journey
