Today I got to chemo at 8:30 but I had to talk to a bunch of different people, have blood taken and discuss my side effects from last time with the nurse.
Which all led to - ta da!! Change of drug protocol!!!
Because of my mouth sores and bathroom issues as I described, the Oncologist decided to switch my drugs from Taxitare ( Docetaxol) to Pacitaxol ( Taxol) .
BUT-
I have to have that one EVERY WEEK.
It will be a smaller dose, so an hour plus blood work, other meds etc. So 9 more weeks. Every week the Taxol then every 3 weeks i will get the Immunotherapy drug but they took me off the second one, Herceptin.
I am not sure why but Dr said the benefit was small. So I am no longer in the trial either. 🤷♀️
Today was busy- various nurses coming to see me, check on me, switch my infusions, etc. I mostly texted with people and played solitaire and Alan read the Sunday Globe and did an errand. I got there at 8:30 but didnt even start any infusion until after noon. Got out at 3 pm.
I feel good but i think they still want me to stay away from people.
