Good day !

Start treatment this morning with the Chemo drug Taxotere ( Docetaxel ) and Zometa (Zoledronic Acid) after the premedication drug Dexamethasone and Kytril .

Docetaxel is a type of chemotherapy drug known as a taxane. It interferes with microtubules, which are part of the internal structure cells need when they are dividing. This leads to cell death. Because cancer cells divide faster than normal cells, they are more likely than normal cells to be affected by this drug.

Zoledronic acid is a type of drug known as a bisphosphonate. It is used to help treat cancer that has spread to the bones, usually along with other treatments such as chemotherapy. It lowers the risk of fractures and other bone problems. It is also used to lower high blood calcium levels in people who have cancer in the bones.

All goes well and coping well with it for until now .

Since about 8 pm , start to have some very slight back bone pain ( not serious ) and
about 10 pm, start to have metallic taste , anyway, this is the expected side effect.

Manage to have workout ( light exercise ) in the evening for about an hour to sweat out and feel better .

Thanks for Chris accompany me the whole day and visit by Fook Wai with snacks ... :) .

Wish the side effect by tomorrow and coming days will be minimum .

Main concern for me is the booster to take on 3rd / 4th and 5th day , with doctor suggested to use Granocyte , as Taxotere can lower our white blood cell count, especially in the weeks after the drug is given. This can increase our chance of getting a serious, or even life-threatening, infection.

Pray for God's grace and blessing for me to continue cope well with the chemo drug side effect .

Wish to have a good night sleep tonight in Pantai Medical KL and discharge tomorrow after a night of observation .

Good nite .
