First Taxol Chemo treatment
July 27, 2018 I went to Lebanon on Monday for my first infusion of Taxol (the new chemo med). Call it anxiety, PTSD or whatever but that hospital makes me so sick!

Feeling 110% this week
July 21, 2018 Thursday morning my entire left arm was numb, tingling, and painful. I was home alone with the kiddos and thought damnit after all this I am going to die of a heart attack!

MRI Results
July 17, 2018 Spoke with Dr. Patel today. She said the cancer is responding nicely to chemo and she is happy with the MRI results.

Neulasta
June 25, 2018 After every infusion I get a device placed on my arm which injects a medication called Neulasta 27hrs later.

But seriously IContinue reading “Neulasta”

Better days
June 14, 2018 Every day that went by after my 2nd infusion I felt a little better. But a little didn’t feel like enough. I was tired of feeling sick.
