Well it has been just a little over a week since my latest chemo and I am just recovering. This TCH kicks my butt.... I have never been so sick in my life. My WBC dropped after the last round so my onc put me on neupogen (spelled wrong I know) injections for 7 days my husband gives them to me every night at 9pm and does a great job but I think it's actually making me sicker. My bones and joints ache so much and I still battle loose bowels, break out in cold sweats where I feel instantly weak and need to lie down. After the last round I ended up in the hospital and my onc said that only 4-6% have this bad of reaction to TCH but March 26 is the LAST round and then surgery about the third week of April if blood counts permit and then Continue Herceptin until Jan 2008 and then Tamoxifan for the usual 5 years.... this is all if no mets show, which I believe that God will take care of. You ladies are awesome to share your stories with each and everyone of us..... Thank you all for the support.
