Was in Hospital

YIKES!  What a scary experience!  I am so sorry that happened to you.  I've been on Taxol, today will be my 6th week.  I think you're dr. is right it won't be as bad.  But they can all be tricky if you get dehydrated so be careful to drink, drink, drink!  WATER!  Nausea is not ver common with Taxol and if you do get a little queazy, Zolfran has knocked it right out for me.  I know a lot a people FAR into their 12 weeks of Taxol and they are up and around and doing well. 

Just keep looking to the end.  This won't last forever - and don't forget to pitch a hissy fit now and then :P  This sucks but you can do it!

I am on Taxotere ( same family) for the second time. It was pretty well tolerated for me. I found that getting dehydrated was more of a problem. A nurse told me that you should drink in Oz's half of your body weight every day to stay hydrated. I have been doing that and many of my side effects (Weak, tired, shaky, cramping) are gone. You have to take care of your self. Especially if you are throwing up or have diarrhea.

I hope you are feeling better.

Take care
Kay,

I hope your on the mend now Cindy and doing fine.

Update us!

Best,

Doris

Yes, insist that they give you meds like Emend or something that will help you weather this. I hope you'e feeling better and again, I'm so sorry you had to go through this.

Hugs,

Hi Cindy!

I am sorry you are having a hard time. I hope you feel better soon.

What helped me with nausea was ATIVAN! I loved this pill. WheneverI felt I was about to get sick, I took one and boom, not only did it go away but it made me hungry. Another thing that helped was eating really small portions of foods several times a day. Drinking a lot of water too.

Taxol was a lot easier for me. I think it will be for you as well.

Hugs and feel better. Hey, one more AC but then you're done!

Just wishing you good luck on

Just wishing you good luck on Monday.  I pray it goes well for you Cindy.

I know you might not be happy, but, I'm glad your doctor delayed your chemo until Monday.  You'll be stronger by then and hopefully will not have any side effects. 

Keep us posted,

Lex

Yep, had last chemo Monday

Last A/C.  Gave me some other nausea meds then, and a pill for yesterday & today (I think nausea med with a bit of steroid)  I go in for hydration tomorrow.  Little pukey today, but if it's gonna hit, it should be tomorrow.

One week off, then on to 12 weeks taxol. 

Take Care,

Cindy
