Canceled last treatment -

RuthieL

Hello ladies! Need your input.

Friday, May 24th I had my 5th of 6th chemo treatments. Docetaxel, Carboplatin and Herceptin. By Sunday I was going crazy with anxiety, twitchiness and also complete exhaustion. This also happened on my 4th treatment so I thought I would be better prepared for it this time. I had my Lorazepam ready. However, this time was worse. I ended up at the doctor on Wednesday because I thought I was going crazy.

Bottom line is we are cancelling the 6th infusion because I just can't handle it. I am now on day 8 of this anxiety/twitchiness and the Lorazepam in barely helping. Last time it lasted about a week but this time won't seem to let up.

I do believe it has something to do with the chemo or steroids because it did go away the last time. But maybe I am just anxious. I haven't been eating much so maybe I should eat more to get my energy up. I don't know what to do and really don't want to keep eating Lorazepam.

Love to all
