Are These Side Effects?
Hi ladies,
I have started on my sort of 2nd treatment. The first treatment on Novemer 9 was Herceptin, full dose, and only 10 minutes of Taxotere and no Carboplatin.
The '2nd' dose was last Tuesday. They were able to infuse all of the Herceptin -slowly- 50% of the Taxotere and all of the Carboplatin. It is taking a little over 6 hours for these infusions due to the fact that they are going slowly.
Some of you who are doing the TCH regimen take Dexamethazone, right? That stuff sucks....can someone tell me if this is connected to Herceptin, Dexameth, or what?
1. Day 5 after treatment I got up in the a.m. and felt faint, fast heart beat and sweaty all day. We finally went to ER to see what was up and nothing was found to be below par except my blood was just a little under, not enough to concern them. Does the Dexameth cause symptoms so many days later? Have any of you had these symptoms, and if so, did the docs connect it to a specific drug? I'd really like to avoid this next time. I had the same reaction the first time- pounding fast heart beat. Today I feel fine. I also have had no nausea and my hair is not falling out yet. Isn't it normal to be nauseated all of the time? I don't know if I should take something....I seem to have an appetite and have not taken any nausea meds since Wednes.
Sorry for all the questions, but I know you guys will know the answers! Thank you,
Diannes
