Hello All!
I had to take a mini vaca to the "spa", a.k.a Emerg for dehydration on Sunday. I was in for 4 days. This throat thing is getting tiresome. I feel like my collar is a smidge too tight and still have difficulty swallowing. The Onc want's to press on and do the thrid Tx. Might as well, just have my bed ready and the I.v. topped up and I 'll do it. I am down 33 lbs since the first Tx end of Jan. I might as well have the Tx and be done with it already. I just hate the choking, vomitting, searing pain that I go thru. Once it is all said and done I hope that my voice and my throat go back to normal. Did anyone else have this type of reaction???? My Onc doesn't think that it is related to the Taxotere.
