Hi all,
Tomorrow morning at 11 (Thursday) I will have my first Cytoxan and Pulse Steroid infusion. I won't know the doses until I get there tomorrow. When I was talking to the women who does the infusions she was still calculating my doses. Apparently it is some figured time meter-squared which has to relate to my height and weight. I will ask her to explain it to me when I am there.
My questions are:
For anyone that has had the pulse steroids; do you get really wide awake and stuff like when taking high doses of oral steroids?
I have read that there is some hair loss with Cytoxan but not baldness like cancer patients get - I am wondering when you started noticing the hair loss increasing? Did you lose more hair at the higher strengths?
How about weight loss? I would love to lose some weight.
thanks,
Karen
