I had my 6th round of chemo yesterday...2nd round with Taxol. Hopefully I win this match. I keep waiting for the pain to start. Fortunately nothing yet but minor nausea and fatigue. Last time the pain set in on Thursday ...so only time will tell. My oncologist said that typically people suffer from peripheral neuropathy (tingling in extremities which I also have), but I am also suffering from central neuropathy. The good news is he said that the central neuropathy that causes the intense pain gets better, but the other may worsen. If by chance it does not improve, they will switch my chemo to a sister drug of Taxol. Hopefully he is right though...I can handle numbing over pain ANY day.
Pray I am smooth sailing and pain free the next few days!! 6 down...2 to go! Man I can not wait until chemo is over. Then I have surgery and radiation to look forward to. Radiation should be a breeze...surgery prolly not too much fun. BUT...then the cancer critters will be GONE!! AND...I can begin really shopping for my upcoming reconstruction...hehehe.
Jaime made delicious manicotti last night and Hoskins are bringing dinner tonight. Christy is going to help me finish cleaning my upstairs also!! So lucky to have great friends :)
Until later...
