Dreading Herceptin tomorrow
Hi to all of you. As usual, I am spending the last few days prior to infusion dreading another round of Herceptin. It makes me ill while getting the infusion--to a point that I have copied pages of this forum and am TAKING it to the ONC nurses who keep telling me it is "stress"... (okay you taste and feel this way....)
I am also down to 7 more radiations so the fatigue of it, combined with the H is pretty grueling--along with the lack of sleep, still exercising (mildly now) daily, woke with a nosebleed.
My hope is that I can somehow "make lemons out of lemonnade" with the H..since I have to get it until March 2009... every three weeks...
Anyone out there grinning along with the aches, nose issues, dry eyes, slow hair growth, HORRID foot cramps? I take compazine during the infusion--so the day is basically toast...
Thanks for letting me fuss... I know it is a miracle drug but the side effects sometimes make me wonder if the "juice is worth the squeeze"... Fussy Westswon
