    Yes, I guess we all react

    Yes, I guess we all react differently.  My Onco said it was probably a delayed reaction to the Taxoter because of my rash and that it was beat red and I wanted to claw my skin.  Benadryl helped me alot but that darn stuff made me sleepy!  My second treatment is March the 4th, the Onco said they are going to give me Steriods longer because of the delayed reaction.  But now I know what to expect and hopefully it doesn't get worse.  

    I wish you the best in recovery!  I know I have to remind myself one day at a time!  

    Thanks for the encouragement, LittleBee

    I'm glad the benadryl helped

    I'm glad the benadryl helped you.  Good luck on the 4th!  Post an update so we know how it goes for you.

    Hugs, Debby

    new and also beginning 4 rounds of T/C

    Dear All,

    I am also planning to begin four rounds of T/C very soon.  I am so glad to hear the helpful advice by everyone here.  I am scared, mostly of having permanent cognitive damage, or Chemobrain for the rest of my life.  Any suggestions for retaining mental clairty both during and after treatment?
