Sorry for the radio silence, I hate when I neglect my blog. Things are going okay although I’m definitely starting to feel more tired. After 7 treatments (8th on Friday), the fatigue is setting in. I can’t imagine how tired I’ll be after all 16 treatments. On the one hand I only have 9 treatments to go….on the other hand November 11th seems far away. But I’m SO thankful that Taxol is treating me better than the red devil. I don’t even have to take anti-nausea pills now! Unfortunately my white and blood cell counts were both super low last week. So now Brian gets to give me nutropen shots the 3 days following chemo. That will help boost my counts. To his credit, Brian didn’t even flinch when he gave me the shots (in the back of my arm). Maybe it’s a way for him to get out aggression? I kid!
My friend Tanhya is participating in the 3 day walk for the cure this weekend. She’s walking 60 miles over three days to help raise funds for breast cancer research. Amazing!! Colleen, Kim and Kaycee are going to join me early Friday morning to send her off. I’m excited to hear other survivor stories and feel the support of the thousands of people participating. Pictures to follow…
Other than that, I’m hanging in there as best as possible and trying to save some energy for my marvelous boys. Oh and I discovered some peach fuzz on my head this morning! I do believe it could be the beginning of my hair coming back. Yay hair!
