Fifth "taxol" treatment

So.....I had a total emotional break down today at my doctors appointment.  Don't really know why, but wow, my emotions are just crazy right now.  My nurse turned to me once we were in the treatment room and says " so how are YOU doing" I couldn't even talk I just started crying.  Have no idea where that came from, but it sure came.  Then the doctor comes in and wonders if he shouldn't.  I am like no come in I am okay.  He is a wonderful doctor.  He sat down and chatted with Dan and I for a good 15 minutes.  It actually was very cool.  He is a very busy man, but always take time with you.  As we all started talking I realized I had a pretty rough week.  My fatigue was back, I have struggled with constipation horribly, I am having dizziness, I have struggled with sleep, I have had achy bones and joints, I can not see at all.  Bought my first pair of readers today.  I am officially an older woman....oh my gosh, that just sucks!!  It's the chemo...haha.


Next week I have to have just one nuepogen shot.  I think these shots give me mild headaches.  And I have to walk over to Swedish from Harborview to get it.  No biggy, just an inconvenience.
I guess I will have to continue these until I am done.  Which is seven treatments away.  Overall things are going by pretty quickly.  I am over half way there.  Yay!!


My very bestest friends ever our having a gathering tonight for dinner :)  I am so excited  to see them.  There is always a lot of laughter with this group.  Thank you Jody and Nancy.
Oh and my sweet friend Amanda ( Nancy daughter) is going to teach me how to put on false eyelashes.  Im excited because mine are falling out.  And by the way, that totally sucks too!!


Okay, enough complaining.  Off to have a fun evening with my frieendsss!!!
