Any Her2/Neu Starting Chemo in October?

Blue, Neupagen was awful for me.  I kept telling the nurse how hard it was on me and she would tell me what I was experiencing was from chemo.  Well, the doctor wanted to try Neulasta since the Neupagen wasn't working all that well for me.  The SE went away when I got Neulasta.  Of course my out of pocket for it is 800$.  Honestly, it is worth every penny for me.  Of course my husband might be thinking differently but he doesn't have to go through this.

Strong, I also have a dang chest cold.  I am feeling pretty crummy.  I know what you mean about no Santa, I did a lot of my shopping for my little ones on line, which really helped. Hope your cold gets better.

klfh- Congrats on finishing.Good timing, you'll be flying high for Christmas. I have my first H only this Fri. We leave for Fl immediately after so I hope I really don't have an SE's from the H alone.

I just had Tx #4 today.  So far I am VERY tired and kind of woosy?  I asked them to give me extra fluids this time and they loaded me up.  The extra fluids seemed to make a big difference in my bounce back from the last Tx.  Hoping and praying for the same result this time.

My warmest wishes to all of you for a very happy, HEALTHY and blessed New Year.

Love,

Anne

Wooohooooo! I just had my last TCH yesterday.  I will now be on Herceptin and Avastin till the end of Sept.  I am so excited to be done with TCH!! I can tell this last treatment is going to be a rough one.  I usually don't start feeling bad until about 48 hours after tx but I am already feeling it.

Hope everyone is getting through their tx's okay.

Take care.

I've been in the radiation area, having started that last week. I'm a week in and have 5 1/2 more to go. Then just Herceptin until mid December. I hope everyone is doing well now. I found radiation treatment scary, I don't know why. But I find I'm not alone either. I had the horrible cold or whatever, and haven't stopped coughing since. But I'm beginning to get out and exercise more. 

My fingers and fingernails are the worst now, I suppose, and feeling out of breath. My hair growing in is so awful I want to shave it off, and I still don't have eyelashes. But that is pretty minor stuff.
