Steroids
Hi guys,
I finished my six tx of TCH the day before Thanksgiving with many problems. I seemed to be allergic to Taxotere and then the carbo and the herceptin. They kept giving more and more steroids to the point where they were afraid to give me anymore. The crash from that tx was horrible. Today I had my first three week tx of herceptin and when they gave me the solumedrol. I had an immediate reaction. Now they think my reactions weren't the taxotere or carbo & herceptin ,but the solumedrol. They gave me Decadron push,but I came around very slowly.
Tonight I am totally wiped out. My muscles are so week I can barely move. I'm sweating and exhausted.I would have thought I'd be buzzing around tonight from the decadron. Has anybody had anything like this happen. I'm wondering if I should go back to every week for herceptin. Although it would be a little more inconvienient. I don't want to feel like this. I thought just herceptin would be so much easier. My oncologist is really great and says," it's up to me".
I'd really appreciate some advice on this one. They tell me most people are o.k with the steroids, and getting the herceptin at three week intervals.
I also had a reaction tothe benedryl on tx # 2. Which now they think may have also been the solumedrol. They wanted to try that again today, but I wouldn't let them.
Thanks'
Laurie
