Re: frustration and anger
I agree with everyone else, Alicia. Cranky, although unpleasant for you, is normal. It could be the steroids, it could be the general turmoil of diagnosis and treatment, it could be fatigue, and it could also be hormonal, as your ovaries are taking a hit (perhaps a temporary one) from the chemo, too. Probably it's some of each.
You can just try to wait it out. You can experiment to see if there are specific things (exercise, warm baths, walk in the woods, etc) that help smooth out the roller coaster. You can ask your providers for drugs. Maybe it will help just to remember that, like most of the other side effects, for you this is temporary. AND you're in the home stretch.
I'm curious about Abraxane and steroids. I thought one of the main benefits of Abraxane (over the other taxanes) was that you didn't have to take steroids with it?
