I have realized after week 3, I do need to get a full size calender for my purse to keep up with appointments at the onc. center...I am on Taxol 3weeks on, 1 off x12, Avastin every other week, and Herceptin every 3 weeks. They would not give me my Herceptin yesterday when I had the Taxol/Avastin, and I return next week on my week off for the Herceptin. They are giving Herceptin every other week now in Chigago for many patients and this is different from the weekly and every 3 weeks...they find it is more synergistic with thte Avastin which is every other week...anyone else have this dosing for the Herceptin.
So far everything is going well, the nodes are now 1/3 their size after treatment 3, which is excellent. My hair was falling out like a bad rainshower...so it was buzzed! I am learning to like scarves...never was a scarf person before. I have learned to make so comfy and cute head wraps out of tshirts...very soft and reasonable, and I can color coordinate any outfit!
I just feel like I lose a day each week due to the Benedryl/Decadron/Pepcid premeds...sleep all day, up all night.
