Update 10/16/11

After chemo #6 I felt pretty good.  My legs were a little achy, the weekend after, as was expected.  My fingers and toes are also numb, which is also a side effect. Other than that I am doing pretty good with the side effects of chemo.

Saturday after treatment, Maddie, Raff (my brothers girlfriend), and I went to Ashby Apples to go apple picking.  Afterwards, Maddie and I hiked Wachusett Mountain.  It was a fun time.

Last Sunday when I woke up, I had a cough and runny nose.  It got progressively worse by Tuesday.  I called the oncologist and the nurse had said that I could take Nyquil and Delsym, and that as long as I didn't have a fever, I did not have to go in to be seen.  I tried the 2 meds till Thursday and my cough was still not better.  I called the doc again and this time they put me on a Z-pack (just in case) and gave me Robitussin w/codeine.  Finally, a week later, I am feeling a little better.  I hope that I am able to get treatment done on Thursday.

Next Sunday, I am walking in the Making Strides against Breast Cancer walk in Worcester.  Are you?  If you are able to walk, I hope to see you there!  I have about 15 people that are signed up to walk so far.  I am excited to see everyone next weekend! If anyone wants to walk, be sure to go to Making Strides and register under TEAM TIFF.
