Hi all, well I had an appointment with my onc and showed her some lumps that have developed on my breast. I still have my primary cancer which has grown enormously because I had to stop treatment whilst sorting out my wisdom tooth problem for about 5 mths , anyway these lumps are peas sized and look like spots but she said skin mets. A bit devastated because for about a year now have not had any good news, now have oung, liver, bone and skin mets and feel that this is the end. I have started weekly taxol and had a pic line inserted. I have only had one dose and yhe pic line wouldnt work cos it had a clot which had to be desolved . It took all,day but still didn't work so had to back the next day (Friday ) to get chemo. The pic line worked after free it up with some prescription . Yesterday went back to see onc and have blood test. Same thing , pic did not work so 8 hours later they took it out. Had to sit there waiting feeling anxious but they said they would fit a port in the new year. Sorry for going on because what i really wanted to ask is that onc asked if i had noticed any change and i hadn't but it had only been 4 days since treatment. She said I should notice something by next week. Now feeling it's not working and she said skin mets worse, all this in a week. Can anyone let me know how long it took to show changes on taxol, feeling so down in the dumps!
