Teri,

The decadron, for me, was NOT terrible. And I didn't experience much pain and had no neuropathy as result of Taxatore. All this to say, we all have different reactions to same medications.

I wish the person who responded with all her painful details would have said her final thoughts first. That being, these drugs really work. I had a whopping size cancer and now I don't. There were many, many unpleasant (some more than others) days....but I am here!!!!

Just try and wrap your mind around the good results and stay focused on getting rid of the cancer. As the late and great IBC survivor and author Mollie Ivans said, "I don't think cancer gives a rat's ass if I have a positive attitude or not. But, it just makes ME feel better to have a good attitude." She lived a very long time with IBC and had a very good quality of life. My mentor!

You can do this.
