Off to my first taxotere/carboplatin/herceptin infusion..

Well, just let me say...I have hit the anger stage, and Im just..well MAD. I hate this disease....I don't feel good, and Im just sickened to know that all of you have gone through the chemo rounds over and over and over. UGH!!!!! I don't even have words. And then I get on the website and see this stupid, stupid disease has taken away yet another wonderful woman, and its not fair and it makes me furious. I certainly have an even greater respect for all of you and how strong you are and how hard you have fought, but none of you should even have ever had to go through this ONCE, let alone for years on end. Im sorry, I try to be positive most the time, but I just had to vent somewhere that it was safe to do so. ((hugs)) everyone...tomorrow is my day off so Im going to try to stay home and chill and get in a more positive mood.

Hi!
KsGal, and everyone!
I know you are furious, I understand and it's OK to get crazy at moments. I do too. Reading this makes me feel normal
I feel also good when reading this, because every time I change my therapy, I get afraid, cause I had a very, very strong allergic reaction on Taxol (anaphylactic shock), and now I am so scared of Taxotere.
So, I was off to receive my first Taxotere this morning and, it was said to me in the hospital that they were out of it. So, I was searching in the Internet, and couldn't find where to buy it on-line, because I live in Belgrade, which is in Serbia, Eastern Europe.
Does anyone knows where I can get it, to be delivered to here? I guess not, but.. I wanted to give it a try...
My regards to everyone here!
Take care!

Here I am complaining and whining about the side effects of a drug I have access to, when you need it and can't even find it. Im so sorry.

I wish I did know a place where you could get it. This is all new to me, and I wouldn't even know the first way to go about that. Maybe someone here will.

Im praying for you, and I hope you are able to get the taxotere. Im on taxotere and carboplatin, and didn't have many side effects from the first round at all. I haven't had Taxol, so i can't compare. Big ((hugs)) to you..Im so sorry you are having difficulty getting this when you need it.
