Second "Taxol" treatment....

My second taxol treatment went super :) No reactions, no problems at all. I am so blessed!  Jody took me to my appointment and Nancy came and hung with us.  I love my friends so much!


So last week on Wednesday night was the first time I started feeling a little bit of muscle aches, but it was very mild.  I took some ibuprofen and went to bed and woke up feeling good. I worked Wednesday and Thursday this week.  I had a wave of not feeling so good Thursday afternoon so I left work and hour early.  I got home and was just kind of tired, but over all not to bad.


Yesterday I talked to my doctor about my MRI.  He said things are looking very good.  The tumor has shrunk a lot.  Praise God!!!  I also discussed with him about a cyst on my ovary that was seen on my PET scan months ago that he would like us to look closer at.  The cyst is benign (not cancer), but he just feels that I should have an ultra sound to look closer at it.  So I scheduled that for later on this month.  This month is doctor appointment month.  I see my breast surgeon next tuesday, my radiation oncologist the following Monday, then I have my ultra sound some time this month. WOW!  I am really anxious to see my breast surgeon. Anxious to see what she thinks is best for me. Single Mastectomy vs double?  How the procedure goes. What all they do.  I was impressed when I looked on line at some of the reconstruction done to woman.  Looks amazing and real.  Yeah!!!


My doctor said that I could start having some symptoms from the taxol like muscle aches, joint pain, numbness in my fingers and toes and my finger nails could turn dark.  Yuck!! I am just going to continue to stay positive and hope that none of these symptoms arrive.  I have done so well so far.  I am truly a lucky lady.  This whole thing has went so well so far :)


I am in Portland right now with my oh so beautiful daughter :) Love spending time with her.  PSU finally won Thursday night and I hope they win today.  They have lost the last four games. Boo hoo
It's turn around time for the Vikings.  So excited to watch her play today.  Haven't seen her play in weeks.


Oh oh oh.....weirdly my hair has started to grow a bit since I finished the AC intense treatments.  It probably is a temporary thing but It did make me a little excited. I want my hair back so bad.  I will never complain of a bad hair day again.  Hahaha  It's kinda of funny.  It's growing on the top and in the back, nothing on the sides.  Karley and I were laughing this morning cause it's kind of like business in the front and party in the back haha....actually it's like peach fuzz really.
