Re: Pulling the plug on chemo - Neuropathy - Thoughts
are you on an every 3 week regime or every week? wonder if that would make a difference. I did every week for 6 months. I did have severe itching but it wasn't considered extraordinary in my case although I ended up with open sores on my arms. Also I wonder if you could take a pause and then re-start? At one point I was offered a pause after 4 months but decided to push on through. You'd think by now they have medicines to help with this. I think I was often given an anti-allergy infusion with the chemo, not sure what it was but I know it made me too sleepy to drive.
So sorry you're facing this dilemma. Perhaps speak to other doctors to find out how they've solved this, if they have. Also Taxotere is the same thing as Taxol only a synthetic version, does it have the same side effects?
health and happiness
