what next

I was not able to have a treatment on Wednesday. I have a sinus infection and my platelets were really low. I was given iv fluids and sent home with an antibiotic. Hopefully all looks good next Wednesday, I only have 3 treatments left.

It is an extremely emotional time for me, with my emotions going hay wire. It will be nice to have a week off from a treatment but I hope I get feeling better soon from this infection.

I have gotten so moody and ornery lately that I can't stand myself. I hope that this will pass. Every little thing seems so amplified. Noise, sound, smell and light seems to be blaring at me with 150% force. All my senses are on over drive, I hope this subsides soon.

I am thankful for my friends, family and coworkers who are helping with meals. I could not bare to cook any more meals. My family is very thankful that they are not having to do it. Again, I appreciate everything you are all doing for us. It is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for supporting me, putting up with my moods and most of all just keeping me in your thoughts and prayers.

yuck--horrible aches

Well wishful thinking that the Taxol regimen was going to be better. I am the small percent that got the nausea and the aches. Lucky me. I was down all day yesterday, missed work and had to take tons of medicine.

Today I am not nauseated which is a plus. I was able to eat and get fluids down so I wont have to have any IV fluids. YAY!

I have taken Lortab and it helps take the edge off but I can still feel the pain. All my joints and bones and everything else just aches.
With Hunter running around I try to take a half and it seems to help. At least it doesn't put me to sleep. Dave should be home soon to chase him around.

Well that is the update for now. I will post more later.

Five down three to go--- First treatment of the Taxol

Alright so here I am sitting receiving my first taxol treatment. So far so good. We didn't get started with the Taxol until 11:00. We had to wait for a specific blood test to be ran at the hospital. When they came back all was good so we got started with a Benadryl drip. The Benadryl made me real sleeping. So sorry for any typos. After that I got a Decadron(steroid) drip.

I could have an allergic reaction to the Taxol, it is one of the side affects. The Benadryl and Decadron are preacuationary to avoid the allergic reaction.

I brought my luggage(rollling bag and my laptop) to finish some things that I have been putting off. I have paperwork that had to be done for work. I also had bills to take care of some organizing of bills and medical papers. Once I am not groggy I will start doing lesson plans for math. It is nice to be able to do it all here. It only took me 30 minutes this morning because I had NO interruptions. YAY, if I were home I would have had one of the kids wondering what I was doing or getting into papers.


Ok well all went well. I was out of the doctors by 2:30. The next treatment I get to go in at 11. I am feeling alright tonight but ready for bed.

thanks to all of you are keeping me in your thoughts and prayers
