With all the excitement around the newspaper article and the increase in fundraising activity, I forgot to update everyone on how I am doing! Sorry!
I am doing well - at work yesterday and today. And feeling normal.
Remember - I am on a new drug now, Taxol, and they assured me that this drug does not cause nausea..........well, I guess they were right (at least so far). I have been taking no anti-nausea meds and have not felt on ounce of nausea and have been eating just fine! They still predict that I will have the Steroid crash, because they did give me steroids intravenously before treatment on Tuesday. But, I am not taking the anti-nausea drugs that had the steroid in it like last time. So, I am not sure if the crash will be as bad as the previous drug. Will keep you posted on that.
A weird little side-effect that has shown up - my thumb nails are sore. It's hard to describe the feeling - not tingling or numb - just sore. hmmmm They did say a side effect could be losing your nails (yuck - that grosses me out) but I am taking Vitamin B6 to help prevent that. So - I am hoping I am not losing my thumbnails!
I did get iron pills yesterday, to help with my anemia.
My sister, Jackie, flies in this afternoon to stay for the weekend! I am excited to see her. She is looking forward to spending "crash day" with me, watching movies! She has 3 kids under the age of 5 - so a movie day to her is heaven! Little does she know - that my 2 kids under the age of 4 will not let her watch a movie in peace!
