Eleventh "taxol" treatment done.....

It has been a very nice week.  My mom came into town last Saturday and has been here with me all week.  Dan has been in Texas since last Sunday.  Helping Tami with her kids and with the new arrival Charlotte, which they call Charly :)

                                                               So Precious!!!!!


Shelly, my sister also came to visit on Monday and Tuesday.  It has been a wonderful week visiting with my mom and my sister.  We have laughed so much :)
My mom is doing really well.  She is still in her neck brace, but doing so good.  She sees her doctor next week and will probably be able to go with out her brace real soon.  Big event....my mom got an iphone!!!  She is actually texting us now.  This is really cool.  Now if she will only let us show her how she can be online and follow all of us on facebook and stuff she will really be connected.  This might take some time haha.


I have been doing pretty good.  I started having soreness in my toe nails and finger nails, weird.  It took me a while to figure out that it was related to the "taxol".  I have started to have some tingling in my feet, but it has been pretty mild.  The toe nails and finger nails soreness is so annoying.  I find myself pushing on the nails all the time.  My fatigue is the same.  I never seem to get anything done :(  I cannot fall asleep for nothing lately.  Hate that.  I do have sleeping pills, but I don't like to take them every night.  But I have started to because I need to sleep.


My mom and my sister just loved my wig and had a lot of fun with it.....

Looks just like me from the back huh :)  My sister said she finally has the hair she always wanted haha.  This was a fun day!  I wore my wig and then they did too.  We laughed so much. Cried a lot also.  It was the first time mom saw the video that Shelly made when I shaved my head.  That is a tear jerker still.  Mom has handled all of this really well.  It was the first time she has seen me since I lost my hair.  She just wants to keep taking pictures of my bald head.  I don't like pictures of my bald head :).


Today went really good.  It was really cool to have Haley and Mom with me.  It was there first time going.  Haley took a really cool video, but I cant seem to get it up. Darn it!

                                                             Mom, Haley and Me


Well, I now have one more chemo treatment.  So awesome!  And it really has gone by fast.  I still have not got my results back for my BRCA testing.  Should for sure get it next week.  On Monday I have a doctor appointment for "latisse". I have an appointment for an MRI and for a CT SCAN.  The Latisse is to help my eyelashes grow back in faster.  I am really excited about that :).  MRI & CT SCAN are to check to see how well all of this chemo has done.  I hope its done really really well.


Last chemo next Friday and then my very good high school friends are coming into town to stay with us for the weekend.  Going to be a great time!  We all reconnected at our 30 year reunion last summer and they have stayed in close contact ever since.  Great, funny & fun group of girls.  Can't wait for Gina, Jamie, Bergie, Syd, Jody and Ali to come see me. Woot Woot.....going to be a fun fun weekend.  Gina and Jody are coming from Goldendale.  Syd is coming from the Spokane area, Bergie is coming from North Bend Oregon.  Ali is coming from Seattle.  Gonna be a great time!!
