Taxol 2nd Time Around

Normal premeds all went okay :) Momma was all sorts of jittery and hyper after taking her steroids at home. It was rather hilarious actually. Overall, taxol was okay. She had some itching, but not as bad as last time. She did develop a rash on her hands and chest, which is new. It lasted only about 15 minutes, and resolved on it's own. Thank goodness! Because of the rash, the doctor slowed down the IV drip by half. The 50 mg dose of IV Benadryl almost instantly made her feel very "gorked". She doesn't understand why anyone would become a drug addict, and enjoy that feeling! She's more nauseous than last treatment, but way less than with the other drug. She's headachey and pretty wiped out, but perked up after she had some yummy food. IV fluids at home tomorrow, and Neulasta shot tomorrow. As always, thanks so much for the love! We can really feel it!  ~ Alexa
