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. Thanks again38Views0likes0CommentsRe: Peripheral Neuropathy - Ice Packs
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 again30Views0likes0CommentsRe: 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 wishes34Views0likes0CommentsRe: 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 again23Views0likes0CommentsPaclitaxel 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 tinypott277Views0likes7Comments
