Cancer

[mon]

I have to echo cats4ever. You were hoping this would be easier on you but ...apparently not so much 🙈 Sending all the support and strength your way, hope you are getting a lot of rest and being kind to yourself. Sure wish there was something I could do, keep on keeping on, you are doing your very best and you are doing it beautifully.

So for round 4 we dropped the C drugs completely. I only received herceptin and docetaxal. The side effects have been minimal. A few days of nausea and low energy. This one has been much more tolerable. 2 more rounds to go, not sure if the oncologist will desire to add back the C drugs or not, hoping not. Next bloodwork Oct 22, this is also the day I get my first echocardiogram to see if any damage has been done to my heart. Round 5 is October 23.

Round 4 we had a 40 cm dump of snow so I wore a Santa hat which delighted and appalled the medical staff. Since round 5 is close to Halloween I'm going to wear a witches hat and bright pink wig. I've found a pink pumpkin bucket and will fill it with candy treats for the medical staff and other cancer patients.

Round 6 I get to RING THE BELL! To signify the end of chemo, 3 days before my birthday.

Sounds like a great plan - a sense of humor always helps the healing process, I think!

Round 5 tomorrow. No "C" drugs to be used. One more after this one and I'm done!

Sounds good, Gayle. You're doing a fantastic job, hanging in there and getting all these things done! Sparkler and I are sending along loads of good wishes and warm energies.

Good luck - we'll be thinking of you!
