Re: Whack-a-mole next...

Re: No rant JUST the facts...

I've had two different types of IV iron, Venofer and Injectafer. Both drugs are for iron deficient anemia, but if I remember right, I did at least four infusions of Venofer and only two of Injectafer...

Re: Decadron-has anyone had this removed from chemo treatments?

I dropped Decadron (dex) when I had chemo. I used it my first cycle of three weeks on, one week off (taxol, carboplatin, Herceptin). I was having more disturbing side effects from the dex than I...

Re: Does your chemo nurse let you see the bag before she/he hangs it?

I think you are smart to check the bag before getting infused. I always asked to see the bag before I was infused. I even had a preference for the sequence of drugs. Taxol left a nasty taste in my...

Re: Cancelled reconstruction

I agree with the others about him not being the right PS for you. Your signature says you're in Mississippi. How close are you to NOLA? I've heard wonderful things about them and they were next on...

Re: Cancelled reconstruction
