2od treatment-no pain
My wife had her 2od treatment (T&H) Thursday 18th and so far just a little headache. The shooting pains, (all over her body), she experienced last time have not returned.
The herceptin dose was a "maintenance" dose we were told, last time she had a "loading" dose. The Taxotere was the same dose as the first time.
2 treatments down 4 more to go. I'm really hopeful she responds well to this treatment. Waiting to see if her markers are going down.
News on my sister, part of her colon removed 1 node of 36 positive she said she will get chemo after 6 weeks recovery time.
News on my mother, responding well to treatment at 85 years old.
