Hello
Hi everyone out there where ever you are, I had my first cycle of Taxotere on the 17th (12 days ago) after 3 cycles of FEC.
I think they lied!!!! they told me that the taxotere wasn't as bad as t...
Hi girls thanks for the info, I am going to invest in quite a few little boxes of Tic Tac's that is for sure.
Also love the sense of humor it really lightens things up wish I was good at thinking of funny things to say but will just continue to read and laugh so please don't stop.
I found between my 2 & 3 FEC that I didn't really get rid of the nausea but it came in waves whenever it felt like it, the Tax attacked on the Sun arvo (had it on the Fri) and today is the first day that I can honestly say that I feel well and have even done the basic house work for the first time in almost 2 weeks the first week flattened me the second week I gradually improved so if it does go like the FEC (gradually lasted longer each time) I am going to be in for a rough ride for the next 2 but then again I might have gotten used to it and not be so bad.....who knows?
Oh Loretta wish I was as strong as you, I feel like a bit of a sook when I read how well you are doing on it, I thought I was going ok on the FEC but not this one.
Tonya you poor thing you sound like you were flattened lower than me, I didn't actually feel like road kill more badly injured and I think the hoot was more like the date from hell.
I am also going to get some lemonade ice blocks in supply.
Josie so pleased that you didn't have a heart attack that would have been the last thing you or your family would need. I have not had to have the white cell injection but guess I shouldn't talk too soon having 2 more to go.
Any advice on how to avoid the red sore patches on the hands, mainly the big meaty part at the bottom of the thumbs and then opposite then it spread up the thumb and index finger and slightly on the little finger, I applied a lot of moisturizer, is this a type of burn from the chemo? also got red patches on my cheeks left and then right?
Well thanks girls for your help and info taking it all on board.
Cheerio for now.
Take care,
