Looking for reassurance please! Big decision to make......
After 2 violent allergic reactions to the Docetaxel component of my TC chemo, my medico team has given me 2 options.....1. Be admitted and do desensitisation and then continue original regime,if all goes well. 2. Change over to AC chemo.
Yes, the decision is up to me but hashing out things on this wonderful forum has helped me so much already. I appreciate any and all comments. Thankyou all so much.
For anyone that has read my prior comments on other threads.....suddenly I don’t care less about my hair loss! Go figure! Lol.
Best wishes to all.xxx

- @Fletch I agree, this experience has deepened my understanding of myself in an unexpected way. And yes, I think it's OK to feel sad and cross despite all our blessings. K xox
- Glad to see that you've had inspiration from some on here. I agree 3%, you've gotta wonder don't you, however, you are giving it your best shot and keeping up your frequent flyer points at ED...…….damn! Hope that is your last visit there, not pleasant!
Best wishes for the balance of treatment, Take care - Hi all, so had my almost mandatory visit to the ED over the long weekend just gone, for high temp. (Adel had a public hol) 12 hours in the ED because there was no bed in a ward for me. I’m sure you can all fill in the rest......
Since my last post I have had 2 SUCCESSFUL rounds of AC. Yes, that is great. But the 2 hiccups I have had along the way have broken me. Why bother for 3% ( that is my personal % only for how much AC adds to my survival). There are so many variables and no guarantees for anything. Humpty is broken, this morning I’ve decided to keep going with chemo and see what humpty looks like at the other end.
I continue to be grateful for everything in my life, family, friends, free cancer treatment, and a roof over my head. But I’ve only just really worked out that I am allowed to feel sad and frustrated and it doesn’t mean I’m ungrateful. I thought I knew a lot about myself, this BC roller coaster has taken me thru twists and turns that I didn’t know existed.
I have also been reading some of your old posts, there’s some truly “tuff chics” on this forum. Thanks again. Xxx - Good luck @Fletch Hope this new treatment works better. Be kind to yourself over the next few days. virtual hugs Katie xox
- @kmakm ,thankyou.x

And@Giovanna_BCNA, thankyou for your well wishes.
So no party tricks for me yesterday....all very boring. YAY! And this morning I feel quite normal. 2nd Yay! (Normal chemo side effects hit me on day 3 last time but one day at a time,....I learnt that on here!)
Have a great weekend everyone, this is the best forum in the world, oh dear, that was way tooo corny!
