Had another blood test today. No chemo again. My platelets only 59, up one from last week, and this was a week without chemo. My onc says that all her patients on Carbo battle with blood count problems. WE have decided to have one week of Herceptin/Taxol, one week off, then chemo again, one week off, then throw in a little Carbo, and see how that works.

I also forgot to mention in my original post, that I have also been having what I believe have been allergic reactions to the Carbo. About 3 hours after getting home from treatment, my temp goes up to 38, I start to shake, and ache all over. This has happened 3 times now. I usually take some Panadol, and go to bed, and feel a bit lousy the next day, but have to go in and have IV antibiotics, just in case.

Thanks everyone.

Love Lisa
