norme Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 The chemo treatment of Taxotere is really taking its toll on Buddy. He started feeling bad this past Friday and still feels under the weather today. I am sure it must be the chemo. He was doing so well (as well as one can under the circumstances) one wonders if these treatments are worth it. I am sure they are for he is here with me after one year and to me that is a miracle in itself. I sure hate to see him down, maybe tomorrow will be better. He gets a scan on Wednesday to see how the liver is doing with the treatments. Sure hope it is working....pray pray pray.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Wood Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Lucie had 5+ treatments of Taxotere with Carboplatin, and each treatment had worse side effects. She (and I) lived through it, and it worked. She is now in remission. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anniemac Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Tell Buddy to hang in there. I always figure that if the chemo makes you feel bad it must really be working!! Small solace for the patient, but it makes the caregiver feel a little better. Hard to watch our loved ones suffer. Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norme Posted September 15, 2003 Author Share Posted September 15, 2003 Thanks everyone. Am making homemade vegetable beef and chicken noodle soups today because this is what got him eating the last time plus it has all those good veges in them. I put broccoli heads and carrots in the chicken noodle which is also a good cancer killer. I put everything one can think of in the vege soup. Hopefully this will make him better real quick. Hope everyone is feeling good today....love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debaroo Posted September 16, 2003 Share Posted September 16, 2003 Norme, I am sorry I'm posting so late...I hope that Buddy is feeling better, and if not yet, than I hope that he will real soon. Its so frustrating how someone could be doing so well, and then the chemo kicks in and reaks havoc. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
