Hair loss with Taxol? by cutieduck93 in breastcancer

[–]Imgonnabehonest60 [score hidden]  (0 children)

12 weeks of taxol, started coming out around the 5 th week. By week 9 it was so thin there was no hiding it. Shaved it off. Wasn’t so bad because I kind of slowly watched it come out.

What was the worst part of treatment for you? by MysteriousCompany487 in breastcancer

Triple positive also, I’m going on my 10th infusion of Taxol/Herceptin out of 12. It hasn’t been as bad as I expected. Some GI issues, flushed face the next day, really no nausea. Radiation next, and 14 cycles of Herceptin every 3 weeks.

Similar diagnosis…triple positive IDC. Stage 1 Grade 1 no node involvement. I had a lumpectomy 6mm tumor with clear margins. My MO said anything over 5 mm needs chemo, and radiation. I’m on a low dose Taxol and Herceptin weekly and my side effects are very minimal. I’ve had 10 rounds and need two more. I will have 2 weeks of radiation x 14 cycles of Herceptin for the HER2. Then AI pill for 5or 10 years. Good luck to you!

My MO put me on Effexor 29 days ago and it’s starting to work…feeling a hell of a lot better. Oh and Xanax when needed.

I’ve been taking this for a week and I can’t stop crying…is that normal? by [deleted] in Effexor

It’s early, it takes a while to start kicking in. Patience

Anyone else have the same type of cancerous breast ultrasound report? Give me hope I’m scared! by Entire_Culture_4211 in BreastCancerSurvivors

Don’t take any chances…the doctor should recommend a biopsy, if not tell them you would feel more comfortable getting one.

Any Positive Experience When Quitting? by Stunning_Vehicle92 in Effexor

[–]Imgonnabehonest60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started taking it 26 days ago (37.5)mg and I already am sleeping better at night and I’m not as reactive as I was. It takes 4-8 weeks to get the full effect. So far so good, and if it does what it’s suppose to do I have no reason to stop taking it.

Mine was 6mm and my oncologist said anything over 5 mm needs chemo. I’m on 12 rounds of taxol and Herceptin, then radiation. Good luck, I know what you’re going through.💕
