The Crafty Annapolitan thank you! AC was particularly crippling for me so yes Taxol is a welcome change!
Great to see you pretty lady! I'm so glad the taxol isn't as bad as the others, you look great and you have the cutest little one 😊! Great to hear you were able to do potty training! Your doing so amazing and you are so inspiring!! As always my thoughts and love are with you and your family!!
Loving Dale thank you April! I hope you are keeping well and those worries have finally settled for you xxx
Thank you 😊, I'm going to be reevaluated in late April and also being checked for cervical cancer due to something they found in my blood work. But I'm staying positive! If i can be half as strong as you i will be fine! 💞
Loving Dale oh god April, I hope that shows up clear - you don’t need that! You’re already very strong - you’ll be able for anything ❤️
Your little boy is gorgeous like his mama! I hope you are doing well. I just found your videos yesterday and have been watching one after another as often as I can!

Great to know, this coming up Friday is my first Taxol I am halfway there ...but so nervous about reactions. I have been working all through chemo so I am happy and looking forward to Taxol.
How are you doing now
Tdot G h Hi thank you for asking. I finished chemo about three months ago, I finished radiation almost a month ago. I was told I am in remission from stage 3 breast cancer. I am watching what I eat and trying to get stronger.
@@cocoyael5372 did you lose all of your hair while you were on taxol?
Did you get them all back?
I have my treatment from next week...
@@akshatsharma5265 i lost amo my hair by the second treatment because I shaved it off. My hair has grown back fuller and getting long
Dee Doherty, I have followed your entire journey since I was diagnosed in 2019. It’s now September 2021. I am wondering how you are doing today. Praying you continue to thrive.
Just wanted to say ur videos have helped me a lot!
Thank you, I’m so glad
I only had side effects like Nausea, cold sweats, just sweating in general, fever,tired and low energy with AC and only the first two infusions. The third infusion I had no side effects and only a blood transfusion and. I have one more AC then 12 weeks of taxol. Hoping taxol I start to grow hair and be normal again and also gain weight.
So glad the new taxol is being easier on you outside of the joint pain!! That fatigue is just incredible hu? Its not something you can even really explain. I did some searching and discovered the chemicals in the chemo actually block up the sodium ion channels where energy pass's from one cell to another. So the fatigue is caused by that energy not being able to easily move around the body the way it naturally would. And really that is kind of what it feels like in that your just so heavy and like an elephant is actually sitting on you. Worse yet you have to take steroids and while I heard for some people it gave them back their energy, for me it was more like I was being sat on by that invisible elephant, but I was wired with chaotic energy that kept me from sleeping and just feeling shaky/jittery all the time. ... but unable to get up and do anything. Blahhh, awful stuff.
Ophiuchus Oversoul wow that’s really interesting... thankfully I’m only on the steroids now before and during chemo - but you are totally right! You feel exhausted, so tired .. but you are wired!! Not for too much longer now though, thankfully 😅
thank goodness for that, I am so excited to see you doing so well. My kids were little during NHL treatment so I know how hard it is when it comes to them. And mine did the same thing you described for a while. They just kind of didnt seem to be to concerned. I suspect its quite the opposite but they dont know how to deal with the change of mom being everywhere to mom always being laid down somewhere in the house. So glad your baby has decided to snuggle and cuddle you though, it helps.
Ophiuchus Oversoul it certainly does x :)
Thank you ladies for sharing your very personal and important experiences with chemo.
Great watching your journey 👍🏾. About to face taxol myself
Thanks so much for sharing! I’ll be staying round 2 of AC next week and was curious about Taxol side effects. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Dee, thank you so much for your videos, they have been so helpful as I go through my cancer journey. I pray that you will continue to stay healthy and well. Thank you again and much blessings to you and your family.
So glad you feel better this time most be horrible feeling sick and tired. I've had cough 3 weeks can't get rid of it lots virus flying round. Your son is beautiful.
Karen Hibbert yes I think it must be viral - just being dramatic about it haha! And thank you x
I’m taking Taxol now . Very tired a little nausea , some neuropathy in fingers and toes . A little blurry vision. So far so I’m ok .. Praying things go well 🙏🏽
Adrienne Crawford hoping for all the best xx
Oh he is just darling!!!! ❤
Your an awesome person. Stay positive and stay strong.
Thank you for sharing. Congratulation on your journey. Did you find Taxol easier on the GI system?
thankyou for your story, it has helped me quite a bit:)
Im on the fourth taxol. I been feeling weaker after each session. But the day i take dextamethason i still have some energy
Wow regarding toilet training a 2 yr old while on chemo- my hubby and I have decided to put that task off for 5-6 months. I can’t right now.
nykka3 each to their own. My first child was three. Don’t put unnecessary pressure on yourself
Hi thanks for sharing! Your son is so adorable! Ok I’m starting taxol next week for 12 weeks. I know I will lose my hair when do you think I should shave my head?
Did you ever get the genetic testing back? To avoid having the total mastectomy? I might have missed it in a video but I did do a marathon day of watching after finding your channel. I am going to keep you and your family in my prayers sweet lady.
Hi Lexi! I didn't actually get the test done - I'm still on the waiting list! So it's a single mastectomy for the moment x
My mom is off red devil too but now on taxol but its weekly and i am still a lil afraid ? Is it going to be bad? Like every week at first she had it after every three weeks
In my experience it’s not as bad at all.. also weekly means the dose she gets it’s less. Side effects are bone pain and aches mainly (in my experience) but definitely much more human than before x
@@DeeDoherty Thankyou so much for your reply ❤ i am much more relived now hope everythings goes well ❤❤
My mom just started taxol she experienced back pain too do the first 2-3 days but also breast pain, is it normal?
@@amels716 okay so mama got done with her taxol
Okay she will experience pain in her breast why? Coz tumor is shrinking so that causes pain plus there are alot of pains called phantom pains that are totally psychological ... taxol causes less nausea but its really a tough kind of chemo ..try to give her food with calories but no added sugar okay ..and nothing too cold or too hot. ..ask me anything if u want too ill help yoy
If it hurts when she moves her arm or so ..could be muscular so u have to get that checked but if its constant is prolly that still get in touch with your oncologist
Shew Taxol makes my body hurt. Really bad. Two more to go
Baby ❤️ 😘
Hi dee, do you think it's possible to have a full time job while on taxol?
Tara Clerkin if it’s just taxol... maybe. But it depends on the job. I wasn’t allowed to work because I worked with children and our immune system is so low on chemo. And it’s individual to each person. I found taxol easier but I had a friend in the hospital and the taxol made her so sick she eventually just stopped it.
Tara: I was fine on A/C but had a hard time with Taxol. I never had nausea on A/C but couldn't keep food down at first with Taxol. I have 3 more Taxol treatments and can't wait to be done. Had neuropathy in hand and pain in legs.
Glad you are feeling well
Marilinaa thank you, hope you are well yourself!
+Dee Doherty A little sick, but not too awful. My first chemo
+Marilinaa oops I meant to say, my first chemo was last Tuesday. Feeling sickish now. Will soldier on :)
Marilinaa oh that’s great!! That will be super if the sickness stays mild throughout (or disappears!) I hope you’re taking care of yourself - don’t do too much, rest when you need to! :) ❤️❤️
+Dee Doherty Thanks so much. Good advice. I think I have to take it easier. Ginger 'Chymes' candy is like magic for the sicky fluish feeling.
