Medications

Some have been asking me about how my medication regiment is since I have started Chemo. So, to make it easier, I write it down:

Day before Chemo:
- Cortison 1 pill every six hours

Day of Chemo:
- 1 Cortison pill in the AM
- 1 Aprepitant (Emend) for (or rather against) the nausea

Chemo itself:
1x Aprepitant
1x sleepy medicine
1x coritson
1xDocetaxel (Taxotere®) 75mg/qmKO-->actual Chemo stuff....
1xDoxorubicin (Adriamycin) 50mg/qm KO-->actual Chemo stuff...
1xCyclophosphamid 500mg/qm KO-->actual Chemo stuff....

7 hours after Chemo: 1x Cortison

Day1 (after Chemo):
- Aprepitant
- leukocyte booster shot

Day 2:
- Aprepitant

Day 5-10:
- Antibiotic

Every day:
3xVitamin B-because my hands and feet go numb all the time

If my blood count is low, I have to take antiobiotics for 5 days, which it has been low almost every week!
