G-CSF Injection
i hope I’m in the right section to ask a question. I had my first chemo treatment AC dose dense followed by G-CSF injection. Once I got home I had a bad case of hiccups for 24 hrs which finally stopped. A week after the injection it gave me severe back pain and spasms & had to call an ambulance to emergency. I wasn’t given any information at the time that this could happen due to the boosting my white blood cell count. After quite a few calls I finally got some answers. I will be asking my oncologist what pain medication she would be giving as I think this is going to happen again after my next injection on Saturday. I was wondering what pain relief anyone has tried and also if anyone has tried CBD oil to help with pain.

Thank you arpie and jennyss for your advice on the peripheral neuropathy. I’m going to give the cold packs a go when they arrive as well as vit B. I really appreciate all the feedback and knowledge. I have only started my journey with 1 dose dense treatment and already I feel the fatigue effects but I’m learning to listen to my body. Thank you againViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsRe: Paclitaxel alternatives
Thank you cranky_nanny for your comments. Had my first dose of AC yesterday so a long road to go. A few sysptoms but manageable at this stage. Yeah I’ve been recording how I’m feeling & medications too, the only way to remember it all. Thanks once again & best wishesViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsRe: Paclitaxel alternatives
Thank you so much for your tips on ice mitts & gloves and Vit B. I really appreciate all the suggestions. I was also confused with my oncologist wanting to do the 12 weekly regime but said it was ok if I didn’t complete the course which I’m getting more understanding of this now. Thanks againViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsPaclitaxel alternatives
Hello i recently been diagnosed and my chemo regieme to begin this week is AC 4 treatments dose dense every 2 weeks followed by Paclitaxel weekly for 12 weeks. Just trying to find out more information from here about AC effects & the peripheral neuropathy with Paclitaxel and if anyone has found it to be permanent. Hoping there may be an alternative drug to use. Thanks tinypottViewsSign in to react to this postComments
