Had my first dose of Docetaxel on June 8th . The first 3 days were good I was even going for an half hour walk but then all hell broke loose . The next week was dealing with a whole lot of side effects from stomach problems to severe bone pain and mouth sores .. I was in contact with oncologist and meds were prescribed to lesson effects . Then I started to spike temps and lymph node on neck began to swell up trip to emerge and was told it was viral and not much to do for it just had to watch temp .
I've overcome from most of the side effects . I am finding my energy level is getting low. I haven't been writing much as I have been having issues with my right wrist .
May 28th , at the cancer centre today to get blood work and trial drug injection .. They have decided to reduce my chemo dose by 15% due to extreme side effects . My blood came back and red blood count is really low , this is the reason I've been tired and headache she suggested to eat some liver lol .
They will continue with chemo tomorrow as my white count is good .
Had treatment today it went well although there was allot of anxiety going in, my heart rate was up .Good job for adivan it calmed me down . On antibiotic for the next week as I started to get infection around picc line site .
One more round to go!!!!!!!! can't wait for this to be over and feel normal again or at least somewhat .
