hav been neutropenic in hospital n had infections with 1st 2 chemos the third got tonsillitus so had antibiotics but didnt go into hospital. just had 4th ec on thurs n they said onc wants to see me next time to discuss tax. as can make u more neutropenic n not sure how i will b so is thinking of keeping me on ec. said will discuss th percentages of having tax or ec. i was told that th combination of ec n tax (or fec ntax) was th best they had. was dreading tax but being told i might not b able to hav it also worries me. i wondered wether i cud try 1 n if i was bad cud go bac t ec. i suppose its th risk of being ill n not getting better which they frightened me with last time has anyone else experienced anything similiar or has any advise rozita xxxx
Hi Rozita
I spent a lot of time in hospital with infections due to a low white blood count. I was given a neulasta injection which helped to bring up my white blood count. Are you receiving this - has your oncologist suggested it?
Good luck
