Hi Dawne, I also really hate, hate hate, that you have to do chemo over again. It just doesn't seem very fair or just. I do hope you don't have any nausea with the taxol. I had a horrible time with A/C nothing worked for me(it got to the point that I would have to keep a vomit bucket in the car just to make it home from the cancer center). I also had taxol for 12 weeks with weekly infunsions, because of my propensity to vomit at the drop of a hat , my oncologist prescribed the Sancuso Patch. I did not have any nausea for those twelve weeks, if you do experience nausea and nothing else seems to work I would ask for the patch. With much love Surf0 -
Dawne and Nancy you two areMAJW said:Dawne...
I understand.....I'm stage IV.....I've known all along, without asking or being told what I have...triple negative is not going away ....treated as a chronic disease...I'll have to fight it as long as I live....I just finished 10 radiation treatments to my brain....3 small spots showed up on my last scans...shocked at that....I started chemo, again, last Tuesday......had a port put in and now the fight starts again....but fight we must....
This sooooooo sucks for all of us!!!!!!!!
Start your anti nausea meds the day before chemo...I take them religiously for the next 3-4 days...no nausea.....
Wishing you the very best...
Hugs, Nancy

Good luck tomorrow DawneAngieD said:Dawne, I'm sorry you have to
Dawne, I'm sorry you have to start chemo again, but you will fight and I'm praying win!
I have triple neg high aggressive BC. I had 8 weeks of every other week A/C and just started Taxol last week ( every week for 12 weeks). My husband has Esophageal Cancer and as luck (?) would have it, he started Taxol the same day I did. (Our cancer center was excited--never had a couple start Taxol on the same day)
Anyway, we had our second session today and are both very pleased so far with it. Better than A/C for me and better than Oxaliplatin/Xeloda for DH. Here are some things we were told that you may already know or, if not, might want to ask about:
1) Before first dose take 20mg Dexamethasone the night before and morning of. After that they give it to you IV while the chemo is being prepared.
2)Use saline rinse (1/2 tsp per cup warm water) 4 x daily to prevent mouth sores. If you should get some sores use more frequently for relief and healing.
3) Take 100 mg Vitamin B 6 twice daily to help prevent neuropathy.
4) Most do not have nausea problems with this.
5)For some, they see fatigue kicking in more after the first 4 or 5 times.
6)They have a nurse stay and watch for the 1st 15 minutes of each session after the chemo starts (takes about an hour to run with our dosages)
Of course, you know to check everything with your oncologist and different people respond differently.
Wishing us all uneventful and major cancer zapping results!!
Angie
Good luck tomorrow Dawne with chemo!

I haven't
been to this site for a while. Every post I read makes me cry! I want to vomit just reading how hard a time my sisters are having. This has got to stop!
I just screamed outloud F*CK CANCER! This is so very upsetting. My prayers will continue.
You are an inspiration for me. And you have always and still are someone I have come to "know" (however unfortunate the circumstances of getting to know you) as a sister.
It is so true that cancer cannot take away our spirits. You are a fine example of that.
Keep up the fight! Sending love and hugs your way.
