An Interesting Weekend

I'm not at all sure what's happening this weekend. I go the new chemo agents (Taxol and Herceptin) on Friday but I didn't get the side effects I expected. The confusion started on Friday morning in the Infusion Center when the nurse declared that my 'orders are all wrong'. Not a comforting thing to hear. Apparently, she could alter some of the orders, but I was still getting the Taxol and Herceptin, just like I thought. At the time, it didn't seem necessary to go into the ask-a-million-questions mode. Some of the things that the oncologist said seemed to be contradicted by the nurse. Like - I wouldn't need a Nulasta shot on Saturday, which they sent me for anyway. The Nulasta shot helps support the immune system, which is blasted by chemo. I was told, though, that Taxol doesn't need Nulasta but I went to get the shot anyway, like the nurse said,  b/c it can't really hurt. I'm wondering about that thought right now because my bones and joints are aching big time! To add to the fun, the Nulasta nurse, on Saturday, said that I got the 'dense' dose of Taxol which is given every other week. I'm supposed to get Taxol every week. So, do I feel so lousy because I got too much Taxol?? Sooo, tomorrow morning, I'll be getting back into commando mode; getting answers! Look out Sinai!
