Amie's Breast Cancer Journey #22 September 10, 2015

Round 4 was the second hardest round I have experienced. I feel as though round 1 and round 4 of my chemotherapy have been harder then my surgery. A change was made to the injections that I am given after chemotherapy. I am now going to have a one a day injection for eight days after my chemotherapy of neupogen. This drug works to build up my bone cells and immune system after chemotherapy. A nurse comes to my house one time during the day to check on me, and give me the injection of neupogen for eight days after my chemotherapy. Â It took me 12 days to recover from this round. Thankfully it is my last round of the A/C dense dose chemotherapy drug. I felt terrible. I was in bed the majority of the day for twelve days. I just started to feel better and I had to prepare for round 5 of chemotherapy. After this round I found myself wondering how much more I could handle.
