Breast Cancer Friend to Friend and Pinkie Central

When today came I was nervous and excited that this last treatment I never want and felt pushed into, was finally going to be done. Well the last treatment came with a bang. They give you all the steroids and anti-nausea medications first with IV fluids. They gave me the first chemo med taxotere and with in a few minutes I suddenly became very hot turn bright red all over and I knew something was wrong told Steve my husband, to get the nurse something is really wrong I was not able to take a normal breath. Two seconds later 5 nurses and a P.A. were shooting meds into the IV put me on oxygen. A severe allergic reaction why now after the other 3 treatments were fine no body knows it just happens sometimes. Steve said it was my body saying No way can I take this again. They then gave more IV fluids the doctor said no more of that medication but the 2nd chemo drug was fine but that cytoxin drug that I "loose it on" I just cry and I was so exhausted from what went I thru with the first drug I just went into the bathroom and cried by myself. And that got myself back together. We saw the surgeon in the hallway and he said he saw paperwork that I was having a hysterectomy in a few weeks. I wonder how I'll be feeling having only one chem drug given. Last cycle I was sick for 9 days. And 2 weeks from tomorrow, thursday the hyterectmony will be out of the way.
I spent the weekend with my sisters and Mom in CT. had a great time I loved having people around all the time to talk to. Seems I get less and less vistors and phone calls as the treatment goes on but my rock is always my husband and 2 kids and that 3 year old granddaughter.
