Just wanted to let everyone know that I have made it through the 2nd treatment of the new drugs. It has really slow me down I spike a fever after the first treatment and it just washed me out real bad the 2nd treatment was not as bad. I am off this week and go back on Aug 2 for the 3rd treatment which I think I will get both of them again. I just wanted to share this with everyone who wants to listen to me.

Have a Good evening.

    Thinking of you...
    I'm sorry to hear that the drugs are wearing you down. I'm thinking of you and sending you positive energy. Stay strong.

    I'm glad you have made it.
    I'm glad you have made it. I wish it could be better; it would be nice if you could say it was a "piece of cake." But, with this disease we take any thing that's positive....

    Hugs,

    What Drug?
    Very curious as to what new drug you are taking... Is it a clinical trial? I am in my second battle with bc and am now in a clinical trial..taking a new oral chemo...TESETAXEL... I had my second dose 10 days ago.. An upped dosage from the first and it has kicked my butt big time...!

    So I am very curious as to what you are taking....

    Wishing you better days,
    Hugs, Nancy

    Gemzar & Carboplatin
    Are the 2 new drugs that I have been given. He said that this would be the side effects that I would have but he forgot to tell me that it hits fast like 48 hrs later. I am off this week for Chemo and I will go back on Aug 2nd for the 3rd treatment. I would imagine that I would get both of them that week. I am so glad that I can talk with some other ladies. Is there anyone in Southern Indiana

    Thanks
