I am happy to report that I am feeling better. Not 100% by any means but a lot better than the past few days. I told my father-in-law this morning that if I had to go back this Wednesday and get that nasty chemo (I call it the RED-DEVIL, cuz the chemo is red) that he would have to go get his horse's bridle and a rope and drag me in that way cuz I wouldn't GO!!! But I go this Wednesday for what is called Taxol chemo. It should be better in two ways....1.) It's only 1 drug! 2.) It is not suppose to be as strong and causes less side effects. So now instead of a mass poisoning my body, I will just get poisioning in my body. I guess I'll take any plus side that I can get! Oh.....and I can add a 3rd bonus....no more Neulasta shots the day after chemo. Halleluejah!!! That will help a ton!
So Tues/Wed --midnight, I have to take 5 pill of steroids. Then at 6am on Wed of chemo I have to take 5 more. They make you do that so that you don't have a violent allergic reaction to the taxol, in case you are allergic to it. I am not sure which is worse.....the roid rage or the allergic reaction??? Just kidding. I don't have roid rage.....just mom rage. I sure hope that if I do have the allergic reaction that it happens there while I am close to medical attention. I don't want to scare my kids with my eyes swollen shut and my tongue hanging out of my mouth!
Thank you again to everyone that has called, emailed, FB, sent cards, text. I haven't felt much like talking or getting back to anyone but I will soon. Just needed some down time. I love you all and hopefully will be out and about seeing all of you soon!
