Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Barb, LOL, can't really remember where I left off with you..Chemo Brain!!!! good excuse anyway. I think I told you I was having the burning palms and feet and rash was coming back worse than before, My hubby got home last Thurs evening and I wasn't much company cause I was doped up on my pain killers! But anyway Friday morning he went to my treatment center and told them what was going on with me. They told him to go get me some L glutamine and for me to start taking it immedieatly> and to take it 3 times a day. It is suppose to help any more nerve damage. Plus when we read on the container it also is good for the joints. It is what most body builders take. go figure! Anyway I still suffered all weekend and my palms where starting to turn a purplish color from being so red and burning. So early this morning I went to my treatment center so they could see how I looked oh yes (was also throwing up during the weekend)anway when they looked at me I think it scared them! They immediatly put me in a treatment chair and started an IV on me with nausea and steriod meds in it. I won't get to see my Oncologyist until my next teatment day which is a week from tomorrow because they had him double booked as it as tomorrow. But they promised me that it will be in my chart about the bad reaction I had to the taxotere and that they would all tell him how bad I looked!!! They also said they where pretty sure he would put me on something else, They better!!! Anyway I will let you know the 29th what they ended up doing! I am already feeling much better.Oh forgot to mention they also called me in more steroid meds to take for my rash! Hope everyone is doing good and hope all have a good week Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Steph, Glad to know at least you are finally feeling better. I'm always impressed with our cancer center on how fast and serious they take any side effects. Glad to know they took you and your husband serious and at the least got you some relief. I don't particularly like the side effects of the steroids, but I take them as I need them as they do help. Keep me posted on your next treatment. I'm 2 days behind you.
