After Colin posted last Friday my elevated temperature quickly returned to normal and I felt fine again by late evening. The quick recovery indicated that it was not caused by an infection but by a reaction to either the Perjeta or Herceptin, neither of which I had been given before.
Today I had my delayed Taxol chemotherapy infusion. It all went satisfactorily and assuming I remain well enough and that my blood test results are not significantly different, the next session of Taxol will take place as planned this Friday, 22nd February.
To protect against a similar adverse reaction in three weeks’ time, I will be given an antihistamine dose before the Perjeta/Herceptin.
So for now my treatment plan continues to be on schedule.
Thanks as always for all your messages of encouragement!
