Re: Bad News
Laurie,
I am very sorry to hear your news. I did have taxotere and yes it is doable. I did not ice my fingers or toes and did not have any issues with my nails. Did have the aches and muscle tenderness and I would take advil.
Also needed the shot to boost the white cells back up.
But for the most part what not as bad as I thought it would. The steriod portion was not easy as I found it wired me up.
Sending you much love and prayers for the taxotere to kick those nasty cells to the curb and do it fast.
Hugs,
jean
