Looks like Taxotere may be a bust...
I suspect he is dehydrated so they will want to give him an IV and most likely will give him one of the other two or three options he has left. I know this concerns him to be using another of the few options he has but I also know he doesn't want to continue this suffering.
More tomorrow... Take care all. My prayers are with you all.

He was admitted for three days. While there they put in his port, gave him antibiotics, and antifungals - no word on what is causing the issues. Dr disagrees that it's side effects from the Taxotere as he uses it often and has never seen someone get dirreaha this bad. Dr seems to think it may be Cdiff... which from what I read says it's caused due to excessive antibiotic use and very few of the symptoms match what my husband has been having and he really hasn't had a ton of antibiotics. I guess we'll find out when he has his next taxotere on November 7th.
Thank you for the prayers and positive thoughts sometimes when you are in the midst of all this you just can't find them.0
