Thought I knew just about all there was to know about Taxoterre from my first encounter 14 years ago. Wrong! I was just diagnosed with triple negative hormone receptor IDC and had lumpectomy done in April (.06mm,negative nodes). Started T and cyclophosphamide last Weds and I am still suffering incredible indigestion, fatigue, headaches and bone pain(Neulasta). I realize I’m now 76 and it’s gonna be somewhat more difficult, but I can’t see how I’m going to make it through 3 more treatments! Need some input. Anyone else share a similar history?
