Spoke too soon!!
Well almost 1 week post chemo,having sailed through the rest just fine,never expected to wake up sunday morning covered in hives!! Tried to manage during the day with benedryl oatmeal baths had to give up the fight at 2:00 a.m. off we went to the E.R. Now I've been on prednisone and atarax for almost a week with a small sign of relief. It appears to be a reaction to the Taxotere (in the TCH mix) so we have a week and a fews days to determine what the next course of action will be.Never having had hives I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM....
Just another hurdle in this crazy journey :)
