Has anyone had trouble with the teeth on taxotere h p

Maybe some oncs don't do loading dose. Mine did. The orders came from my MDA oncologist to give to my local oncologist and the amounts were higher for round 1.

I have the nosebleeds. More annoying than anything.

Gearing up for round 6 on Wednesday. I'm bedridden today with diarrhea. Had a very rich dinner last night. Sucks because my Monday and Tuesday are usually really good before treatment and I try to get a lot done. However, resting is on agenda today.

I have scans next week. Getting nervous. I think I have had progression in lungs and spine based on how I'm feeling. Ugh. Trying to stay upbeat and hopeful and not let the anxiety take over.

Have a great week ladies!

I guess it must depend on the doctor if one gets a loading dose. Mine did reduce my taxotere dose by 20% after the first round put me in the hospital two times. I had nosebleeds with the first round but not after he reduced the dose. I hope your scans go well, Bondgirl. I know what you mean. I have had a dry cough the last couple weeks, which makes me nervous. I should get scans after this round.

I had the loading dose. It was awful!

Yes, I had a loading dose in the beginning as well..

I got my scan results last Thursday, but had a super busy weekend and forgot to post.



The only thing that "lights up" on the PET now is my original breast tumor! There is still a place on my liver that the radiologist said was "hard to measure or make out", but it had zero metabolic uptake. Praise God! This is so huge because originally I had multiple liver lesions including one that was 7 cm, 3 lymph nodes involved, and spots on two of my ribs, hip, shoulder, arm, leg, and a few vertebra. These were very small, but now they are all gone. I did 4 TCH, and then went straight into THP. Thursday I will do my 11th THP. One more after that, and then I will just be on P/H for as long as it will carry me. I also hope to schedule my breast surgery soon. Off with the mother ship! Prayers for good decisions and a long ride on P/H would be much appreciated! My four kiddos need me!



Prayers, love, and hope to all!

kingcour has the origional breast tumor shrunk at all?

Great news, Kingcour!

Wonderful news Kingcour! Sending mucho prayers your way!

Lisa Hubble, Kingcour, so happy for you and gives me a lot of hope this will work for me. Have PET scheduled in 2!/2 weeks. I'm wondering if I didn't get a loading dose because I have been on chemo before. I noticed everyone was first timers with the loading dose.

I got a loading dose and I've been on various chemos the past three years.

Kingcour: Yay! Doing a happy dance.

Jill: How are you feeling?



I got a load dose. But I only did thp twice. I've been on ph only since October. I've started doing water aerobics three times a week and I'm feeling the best I've felt in a long time. Praying we all find our silver bullets.

Kaelia most days I feel pretty good. Each treatment I seem to recover better. I still have a few random crash days. Aerobics is really helping. My muscles were not so great after thp. I could barely make it up the stairs. So I encourage you to walk asap. I was such a couch potato before all this mess. Hope you feel good on ph only.

Fiuigimama why did u only have thp twice?

Hello ladies.. Did everyone begin to tolerate this combo better after each treatment? I know my first and second infusion tried to kill me but the third treatment hasn't been so bad.
