chemo round 3

By Tina Sunday, December 16, 2007

Hi all,

 

Just finished chemo round 3 a and 3b for the CAF regimen-the old- fashioned type of chemo (not the dose dense) anyway, my counts were lower again, down to 2.2 for WBC and .3 for neutrophils, but the doc still gave me the chemo. I do feel more tired now and my throat feels a little irritated,(hard to swallow) so it seems another GCSF booster after I finish the cytoxan oral pills. Does anyone have these symptoms from time to time?

 

But we keep chugging the cytoxan and on and on we go forward...

Hope everyone has a nice and comfy holiday and a Happier New year.

 

Thanks for the support. It means a lot.

Out of the chemo jungle soon for all of us! Let's fight! And WIN

Hi Tina,

 

Hang in there with chemo - you're a trooper for sure. And thanks for your "fight and win" words. There's just no other way!

 

Best,

Maria

Hello,

I just finished up with my chemo (taxol & more) for breast cancer this April.  I too have very bad joint & bone pain.  I can hardly walk at times.  It's my hip, thighs and right knee that is so bad.   It sucks.
