Rosehipbandit ❤️ during chemo I was on that rapid response number like a bat phone and good job too, I had normal temperature but my wee was burning and they got me in, it was a urine infection caused from chemo and it needed antibiotics and I was in casa nhs for 6 days. So always best to check with your rapid response ❤️ just to be safe ❤️💕💕✨✨Shi xx ... View more

❤️ glad you’ve both checked with your teams ❤️ always best to check ❤️ docetaxol can cause reactions it’s happened to a lot of us over the years, some on 1st infusion, some on 2nd infusion (that was me and a few others) your teams know what to do do you being vigilant and letting them know helps them and helps your oncologist ❤️ there are alternatives such as abraxane that they may discuss with you to switch to if you have full blown reaction ❤️ just wanted to reassure you all, it’s nothing your teams haven’t seen before you are in safe hands and you being so good and vigilant helps get you safely through ❤️💕💕✨✨Shi xx ...
