I had Taxol and Herceptin weekly for three months. I am now down to just Herceptin every three weeks. The Taxol is what I call the mean one. It seems there are varying reactions to the Taxol. I had a rash over my arms and legs that was very itchy. I had medication to minimize the itching. Tiredness is definitely an issue. There were days I did little more than sit and nap During chemo I would make sure to take a protein bar and something to drink. Although they gave me an injection of benadryl and that one usually zonked me and I slept through most of the Taxol infusion. My husband sat with me every time and watched me sleep. Of course, there is the hair loss. I ordered some scarves on Amazon which I still wear as I begin to grow hair again. I did not have any stomach issues. In fact quite the opposite. The steroids made me want to eat to much. I have gained pounds. I hope all goes well for you. I pray for all on this site that their journey through this is successful.

Doing ok I’ve had 2 UTI since starting chemo so that becomes an issue. Finished my 4 infusion Tuesday and feeling good today.

How are you?

Checking in to see how you are doing with the chemo. Hope all is going well.

I also connected with an online meal service where I could order meals that I could either put in the microwave or oven for a short time and have meals for me and my husband. That way you get something more nutritional than fast food. My husband is not a cook so this was a big help.
