I will get Abraxane every 3 weeks for 6 cycles. I've had Taxol and Taxotere and thought the side effects were worse on me. My hair is falling out (for the 4th time since 2003) I suppose as the treatment goes on I will lose eyebrows and lashes...I just wear makeup. I go to work everyday.
I had my treatment on a Wednesday and did not feel any side effects until Friday night. I started taking nausea pills Friday and had a Neulasta shot on Thursday. I was prepared to feel bad over the weekend but really didn't. I did take it easy and layed around the house :). By Monday I was fine. The main side effect was that I craved plain pasta, lima beans. My chemo mouth did not develop like I thought it would.
I have energy but do not know about my counts. I'll find out next Tuesday. I will get Procrit with Wednesday's treatment if the reds drop.
I sure hope Abraxane works!! 30 minute treatments beat 3 hr treatments any day.
