Hi ladies,
Thanks for your input.
My onc called today who will be doing the next infusion at the Vancouver Cancer Centre. She said that when infusing Doxetaxel (spelling?) you do not get pre meds. I think there is some infusion confusion about taxanes; there are several different types of taxanes apparently, doxetaxal is one. She is going to try another drug from the taxane family on me Tues. when I will be admitted overnight after the infusion for observation. She said I may just be allergic to taxanes but wants to try another type again before we think about switching to AC.
I also read an article written by her, Dr. Gelmon, on how long to wait for treatment after dx. Looks like 12 weeks is about the limit and that will be the end of Nov. for me, so I am stressing about getting something going!
I'm glad they did the Herceptin first or I wouldn't have gotten even that. I don't have any side effects from that, apparently, and hope I get another dose Tues.
PLease, need your prayers that the taxanes will work for me this time around. There is so much power in prayers.
Wishing you all well,
Diannes
