Re: Taxotere Carboplatin Herceptin Side Effects
Hello and strong support and well wishes to you.
I am new to this site as well. I have been reading much valuable info, this is my first post.
Cycle 4 TCH completed last week.
I eat mini whole grain bagels before and during infusion. This seems to help nausea (along with initial infusion of Pepcid & Emend!)
Lots and lots of fluids every day (I dilute apple/cranberry 100% juice with water and drink through a straw. Straw helps if my mouth is sore.)
First cycle I had low white counts and hospitilization - I now receive injection of Neulasta 1 day after infusion. This has resolved the white count problem.
Now I am experiencing sore fingertips and fingernails. Anyone reading this have suggestions for this?
