Chemo 10

I was unable to go to my Dr.s appt last week or to have chemo 10 and so postponed for another week. Saw my Dr. on Thursday and made the decision to continue with taxol/herceptin as I have 3 more treatments to go to finish the current regime and I also will have completed all that my Dr. has asked of me and it is important to believe that your Dr. only has your best interest at heart and I do think she does.

I had been quite sick and just did not think I would be able to finish but somewhere in my personal self I found enough of me to go on and I also know that my daughter wants me to do everything I can to get thu Breast Cancer and I love her so much and am not ready to stop being a part of her life.

I also know that my family, friends and co-workers are pulling for me and as I march I have my army behind me and I appreciate everything you give. Thank you.

I am feeling pretty good this morning and am planning a trip to the grocery store, let's see - make a list, get dressed, get in car, drive to store, go in store, pick groceries, buy them and get them in car, get them home and put away. Did you know that there was so much to going to grocery store? egad.

I think when my hair grows back it is going to be white. I saw two ladies yesterday at chemo who have white hair and it looks pretty, so am going to look to them for inspiration and I am going to be happy that I have hair. One of the ladies at work told me when her hair grew back, it was grey, brown and orange, not sure it would be a look for me, I know I can have it colored. It is something to anticipate because I will have completed the hair killing drugs. Forward Steps.

Chemo 8 & 9

Catching up on my blog and to let you know where I am at.

I completed chemo 8 & 9 and was all set for 10 when I got whammed and there I was wondering what happened.

I had come down with chest congestion and it about did me in what with all of the side effects going on. I saw my Dr. last Thursday and I knew that I would be unable to take a treatment on Friday (#10) and so it was cancelled. My hands are in a condition that the Dr. stated she had not seen anyone so bad and let me tell they hurt. Feet and legs are bad also. Shoes and socks hurt but I wear them anyway.

I see Dr. today and we will discuss tomorrow and at this point I do not want to go in, a decision will be made regarding treatment #10. I have 3 more to go in my current regime. I do want to finish but will only if I know I can get thru them.

My niece Kristine came down with her hubby and they went to their first professional football game, she is a Charger fan, she had quite the time but we were sad that the hometown team lost, I guess as they say Better Luck next year.
