Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Dari, Please call the onc and see if you do need to go to the ER. Sounds like your husband could be right. I will keep you in my prayers.

I don't know if I told you all that I fell down the stairs on my first taxol treatment.My husband told me I fell in the bedroom and he helped me up & I swear I have no recollection whatsoever of that incident. But, afterwards, I was skipping along through the day. (trying to get everything done before my gawd awful joint pain set in from the chemo. (usually hits on day 2) I was at the top of the steps one minute and waking up at the bottom the next. No clue what happened (I wasn't there.) :-)So last Tuesday was my 3rd taxol and thinking I was very aware that the stairs were not my friend :-) I put one foot on the step...then the next and WHAM! this time I screamed all the way down (so, I obviously hadn't passed out this time.)Anyway, this time I got a black elbow and torn ligaments in my right foot. puhleeeeeeze!!! Last fall was my left foot. "-)Now, I resemble a prisoner... :-) Can't go anywhere without using steps to get out of here. Oh ya big baby... I can't go anywhere anyway. Been toooooo sick. This stuff has been wicked this time. Bad bathroom problems and purging like crazy. It's not like nausea...It's all of a sudden like as simple as swallowing the wrong way or something. I don't know, but the purging is deep and hard on my ribs and whatever is squished into them...it has had me laid out for the past three days. I'm so sick of it!I've been so weak from the bathroom stuff I started to cry every time I had to get up. (which is so unlike me) <sniffle> It was sooooo hard and all I wanted to do is stay laid down and stay warm.My husband said if I didn't get to feeling better in the next few hours he was going to take me to the ER. I am feeling somewhat better but not much. I wouldn't let him take me to hospital. He still wants to. He thinks I need to get on IV fluids to get me back on track. So, I am compromising and trying to drink a lot. See if that helps.Something's got to give here pretty soon. I'm a mess.I even took Ambien tonight at 8pm to try to sleep through some of this... and here I sit at 2:20AM typing away... It didn't do a thing.dang it!Darifastest2@...

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 If you go to my new web site and click on Ren you will see a pic of me last Sept. (05), that is the first pic I had made when my hair started coming back. www.menpausewomentalk.com I look at it now and think wow, my hair was that short. I have always kept my hair long. Now it is touching my shoulders. It does come back...................... ren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Once during my chemo I had a fever and went to drs...he gave me a fluid drip hoping it would help...on a Friday by the next Tuesday I was no better and was put in the hospital because my blood count was down...was in 4 days was hard to get white blood count up... Better go to the ER if you already have not...nothing to fool around with...My Chemo Dr at the time in Delaware said if anything was out of the ordinary call the office immediately and talk to his nurse... If you cant stand up and are sick to stomach go to ER with your husband... Betsy (NC) Note: forwarded message attached. Dari, Please call the onc and see if you do need to go to the ER.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Dari You need to have a test for your electrolytes. That can kill you if it is too low. Call your Dr. right away. Drinking GatorAde is good and REI, the sports company, has some you can buy and mix yourself. Love, hugs, and prayers Janet IDC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
