Paclitaxel

anyone been on this chemo paclitaxel, just wondered about side effects. Due to start it, just waiting for letter in the post.

  • I meant I was late silly Billy. I never go on this till either afternoon or night time, so I missed your cuddles. No haven't got any crisps, I ate them. I haven't got drain in either, took that out in hospital and just stuck a bag over the hole in case it leaked.

    If this is still like it is on Monday I'll have to go to docs or ring the ward up, it's really painful.

    Take care Billy, speak soon.

    lots of love and kisses Shelly.xxx

  • Hi Shelly it’s a quick one tonight, I am going to try and get some sleep, I have to go to Preston tomorrow early and will not get back until later so I will definitely get back to you, with a better chance to chat either tomorrow evening or Monday. You say you can hear crackling from the part it hurts, if so I would advise you contact NHS helpline as soon as possible, I am not at all trying to scare you, but I get a lot of sever chest infections. They crackle now because you have the cancer, even if you are not in treatment or not, your immune system are still compromised, normally it could just be bronchitis, my biggest concern it’s might lead to pneumonia. Hence you do not want to be leaving it to be truthful. So depending on how you are in yourself and think you can leave it until tomorrow morning then do it then, if your feeling worse than you did, you need to do it sooner than later. It’s bizzar because what you are describing is the exact symptoms I get, only mines on left hand side. It’s strange that you feel it could be on your liver, or ribs. Truthfully had I not had so many chest infections. I would be wondering what it could have been myself. I know I used to think it was liver area, but what gave it away straight the way was The crackling you do not get that. From the liver or the ribs, it’s your lungs and it’s a deep infection. Have you started coughing yet, I bloody hope so. Because that now needs to come up. ASAP before it does go to pneumonia. Shelly please I am definitely not trying to scare you at all. I am just please please asking you to see a out of house GP the quicker you get antibiotics for your chest soon. I  am willing to bet my life on it being a chest infection. Seriously. Do please take me serious. I am sorry Shelly but I have to go, now. I will write tomorrow, I hope you have been to see doctor by then. Lots of love xxxxxx ps Your right Billy is lovely. Don’t tell him I said so though will ya lol ha ha ha xxxxxxx MOST IF ALL GET ANTIBIOTICS. ASAP.  lots of love and hugs xxxxxi

  • Hi Marj, I've been scrolling the internet since yesterday, trying to find out what it is. I think I know what it is now. I found a site and it said the rib has disconnected and it can cause popping or crackling . It described every symptom I've got. Thank you though for the advice. If it's no better by Monday I'll go to the docs or phone Macmillan nurse, see what they say. I haven't got a cough at all. Don't worry I won't tell Billy you said he's lovely lol. Anyway take care, speak tomorrow.

    lots of love Shelly.xxx

  • People say to know me is to love me,, I'm only bragging, did marj tell you her book should be out around Xmas, don't know if it'll fit though the door though definitely not the letter box, please don't tell her I said that she'll probably hit me with one, hope you had a good night's sleep. Marj will probably be on her journey if she's woke up,, (I haven't got many friends (boohoo) so I have to make do with hue I can find and I found marj), no seriously I never go any where to to talk to people, come on where's the sympathetic tears, more boo hoo's, :-( no I'm fine as long as I've got my Brenda, love.. Billy 

  • Hi Billy, we all love you Billy bob.

    Marj was telling me about her book yesterday, it sounds great, I will definitely buy a copy when it's out.

    She'll kill you saying that ha ha. I did have a good nights sleep till about 4 then me and Peter got up, he made me a cuppa, then went back to bed.

    Lots of love Shelly.xxx

  • Of course your my extra special friend, your one of a kind,, as I said I've got Brenda, but good to talk to others she sleeps so many hours in the day so someone else is a very very nice change especially if there as good looking as shelly as long as a certain husband isn't around, hope you get sorted is there an A&E near you,, love.... Billy 

  • Aw thanks Billy that's lovely. Yes we have a big hospital only about a 10 minute drive from here.

    why did you want to know if we had an a&e?.

    it is good to talk, you can get lots of information off here as well as make new friends.

    it keeps your mind from wondering to dark places.
