Yes I know the feeling-
When 1st on Chemo told I would have 6 docetaxol. About the 4th dose my Onc asked if I would do more. I immediately thought it was for a bad reason. Her reply was" no - just belts & braces effect as you have done well on it". I did an extra 2 - wanted to do 9 but my Nurse said 8 enough. I still wish I had done 1 more but probably would have felt that way regardless of totals. No idea if it helped!
I don't mind being on H for good! It's easy to do especially now its just a 4 min injection!
