Last chemo cancelled

[lisahammo]

Hi all

Just wanted to vent about my last treatment, and how disappointed I am. I went in for my 8th treatment of Taxol/Carbo/Herceptin, only to have it cancelled. Since I had my port inserted 3 weeks ago, I have been giving myself daily Clexane injections to thin blood, as I developed a clot the last time I had a port. However, my platelets were low last week, and this week, after dropping the Clexane back to every 2nd day, my platelets have dropped again, and also my Haemoglobin. So cancelled.

I now have to stop the Clexane altogether, and keep my fingers crossed that I don't develop a blood clot, and I am having 2 weeks break, to see if my bloods come up. I am so frustrated, as in my opinion, my liver levels are not dropping quick enough for my liking. I was hoping to get rid of the 3 tumours within 6 months, otherwise I will just be back for more chemo again within 12 months. This disease is just not fair.

Thanks for listening.

Love Lisa
