Hello Ladies!
I JUST had my first cycle of Taxol/Carbo last Tuesday...
(Monday...started Herceptin...)
My therapy will be 6 cycles every 21 days along with weekly Herceptin...then a year of Herceptin.
Let me tell you...WOW...I "thought" I was doing okay after my infusions...a few days later...WHAM!!!!
I was down for nearly 4 days...my white blood count was 1.6 this last Mon...and I still got Herceptin...will see what it is this Monday!
Anyhow, I had a followup with my BS, he was questioning "why" I was getting" 6 cycles as to 4.
He knows my Medical oncologist and is going to talk with him about it as he believes that 4 is as beneficial as 6...
Thoughts...input...Thanks!!!
PS...this TAXOL is TAXING...WOW, I lost 4 pounds in about 4 days!!! UGHHH!!!
