My dr. had changed what I was going to be on before I started chemo. I am on Taxol and next day Neulasta. I am ending the foirst week and I must say it has been a trial. First day I was tired. The first night I couldn`t sleep(steriods in pre-chemo along with benedryl) Head ,chest and arms itched like crazy. In the morning I woke up and felt like I had a fever. Upon going to the bathroom,looked ion the mirror my face and chest were like I got a bad sumburn. This they say is normal with steriods. Then I had to go back for a shot of Neaulasta. That went fine, Went home that day and felt good and hyper--oh those steriods, they really do that. Got sleeping pills and pain pills from the Dr. Well that night I hurt so bad ,my legs and knees and ankles and feet. I was in tears. All I could do was use a heaing pad and the pain pills. The pain continmues in my legs and back and feet. Use the sleeping pills and pain pills and ibprophen. I go thru this again in aniother week. Does anyone have the same chemo. or know if this will get worse befor it gets better. This was my first treatment.
