Only 3 more treatments left!!! I have to say that the Taxol treatment is SOOOO much better than the A/C treatments. My doctor had said that Taxol wouldn't be as bad. He said that I wouldnt be as nauseous - boy was he right! I have not felt sick at all! There was a chance that I would have "flu-like symptoms" but so far I have felt nothing out of the ordinary. I do have to go get my labs done on Wednesday to see if my white blood cell count is OK. If it has dropped, my doctor said he may put me on an antibiotic as a precaution. I will also have to get a Neulasta shot after the next two treatments if my counts go down. I am hoping that I stay healthy enough so I do not need anything extra.
Just a random note... my eyebrows are starting to come out. They are not completely gone, just some. Mike says it looks like i took hair clippers and "cut" a chunk out of my eyebrows! Nothing a little eyebrow pencil cant fix. I guess you have to have some humor in all of this! On a positive note, with the new drug, I could start to see some "peach fuzz" soon. I still have really blonde hair that had never come out, but I could see "new" hair. I will have to wait and see.
This upcoming Sunday I am walking in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Boston. If anyone would like to donate or walk with me you can go to this link....
