Hello again and about time! Tomorrow will be my 4th treatment of Taxol. So far so good. I had some reaction to the treatment the first two infusions. Muscle spasms that felt like really bad menstrual cramps. They stopped the treatments and gave me some Ativan. Things got better and they finished up the treatments. After the second time this happened they made the decision that I should get the Ativan to start. As a result, Mike has put his foot down and I am no longer driving myself to or from Chemotherapy. I have a wonderful bunch of friends who are taking me to my appointments and several Chemo Buddies, who come visit with me and make sure I let the nurses know what's going on. In fact I probably wouldn't have said anything about the cramps if it hadn't been for my friend Laurie reminding me I was supposed to let them know if ANYTHING changed.
Last week I came down with a head cold that went into my lungs so I've spent the last 5 days in bed except for work. Almost better but I need to get back to bed so they don't postpone my treatment tomorrow.
11 weeks of Chemo done, 9 to go!
