Well, I had the 2 Herceptin treatments, and they weren't bad, just really sleepy from the Benedryl. The Chemo was not fun. There was an awful taste that wouldn't go away for about a week. I ate and ate trying to get rid of the taste, but it didn't help. Somehow I managed to not throwup!!!! Yesterday was when everything really hit home, my hair started coming out.
It has been pretty easy to kind of ignore the fact that I have BC, until the hair. Thank goodness I had it cut real short after the Chemo treatment, but it is still scary. My hair is real thick, so it isn't noticeable.
Friday my lab showed that my white cell count is low, so I can't be around alot of people. Hopefully my count will be up by this Friday, because I do not want to postpone a Chemo treatment (my second). I want this crap over as soon as possible.
Thanks to all for listening!!!

JeanetteHi there....what kind of chemo are you receiving? When I read that you had a horrible taste, I thought maybe it was Taxotere or Taxol; I had four treatments of A/C in the beginning of my chemo and my hair started falling out within two weeks; however, it started to grow back by the time I started the Taxotere. The bad taste lasted for about 10 days after the first few treatments of Taxotere and for quite longer the last two. How many treatments will you be getting? Hang in there....you will get through this as hard as it seems! Good Luck to you! Rest up...chemo certainly takes alot out of you!!! Luv, Jeanette
