Re: Off to my first taxotere/carboplatin/herceptin infusion..

Im really hoping I don't have any major side effects..I have to go back to work Saturday. Keeping my fingers crossed. They actually did not check my blood before giving me the Neulasta. Strange that they wouldn't, as they did mention it costs something insane like 5000 dollars. I still don't feel so bad today..just kind of icky in the head like Im coming down with something. However, I must add that I am such a paranoid person that I have an alarm set and I am popping a Zofran and a Lortab every six hours whether I need them or not. I did get dehydrated even without vomiting or any other issues, so they have me drinking a ton of gatorade and water. Other than that...so far its not near as bad as I expected, but it does still suck. Thanks for being there for me, its makes me feel so much better to have some reassurance from people who have gone through this.
