4th Chemo summary


4th Chemo Summary:


  • Drip rather than injections for 1 1/2 hours 
  • Taxotere is an additional drug given this time 
Taxotere link with all side effects:


  • Some people do have an allergic reaction to this drug, I was lucky I didn't I guess
  • Extreme muscle ache ! never had it this bad
  • Again I ended up in the hospital at around day 8. My white blood cells and neutrophils were very low so I had to have intravenous antibiotics + oral antibiotics (again due to risk of neutropenic sepsis ). This time situation was more serious and I had to stay over night. Luckily mum was with me.
This is how I spent most of my days ...
