TAnn Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Oh Addie, I hate to hear this news. I was on Taxotere after Taxol/Carbo like Cindi. I had it once every 3 weeks and the infusion did take a few hours. Yours may be shorter due to you getting it every week. The side effects were not as bad as the Taxol, but I was very tired all the time, achy, not much of an appetite and my fingernails did not fall off, but with every treatment, I got a pink stripe on them. It was very unique! Some neuropathy goes along with it too in some people. Fight the fight, Addie. We are all here with you. TAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Addie, you are still in the opening innings so expect to see a big turn around in the score. This is not the news we wanted to hear but there are still options. Look at so many here that had to go through a plethora (big word eh!) of chemos to find their magic bullet. My love and prayers are flowing your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don M Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Addie: I hope the taxotere reverses the progression. Don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
