I had my first Taxol, Herceptin and Perjeta chemo mix. I was queasy and nauseous throughout the chemo, but did okay. I was up and about the next day, which to me feels like a miracle!!
I've noticed my lower eyelashes are almost gone, I have 3 or 4 lashes on each eye, and my eyebrows are very thin. They will get thinner and thinner as time goes. This chemo takes ALL of the hair. The worst side effects are full body hair loss, black fingernails and toenails that might fall off, and neuropathy - the numbness and tingling of fingers and toes. I'm not so concerned about the hair loss... I have fake eyelashes and eyebrow pencils in stock :) The nails and neuropathy freaks me out a little.
Taxol Chemo 1 of 12 done. I get this weekly.
Herceptin & Perjeta 1 of 13 done. I get these every 3 weeks.
