12 Jun 08, Thursday - 2nd half of 5th dose of chemo - taxotere 40 mg, carboplatin 200 mg. Didn't understand why herceptin was not included.
I was supposed to have the 2nd half of the 5th dose on 5 June, Thursday, but my white blood cell count was low at 2.3. I was told to go back 1 week later on 12 June.
On 12 June, my white blood cell count was still low at 2.3. Staff at chemo unit checked with my onco and was told to go ahead with the chemo.
I was having problems with my breathing, was extremely lethargic and my legs were weak and had water retention. My legs also hurt when I got up from a sitting position. I could sense that my progress had reached the peak after the 3rd dose and now with more doses, it seemed to be going downhill, probably because my immune had been affected and also because of the accumulated side-effects.
