Taxol Chemo - Round 6

Good news!  I was healthy enough to get the chemo this week, so I was glad for that.  The Nurse Practitioner gave me some advice on battling the low red blood cell counts and all the symptoms that go with it.  I need to drink more water....DUH!  I should have known that but sometimes I just don't get those 8 glasses in and chemo patients are suppose to have 16 glasses.  I might as well hook up the garden hose to my mouth and turn it on full blast.  I don't think I will ever make 16 glasses!  But I am going to consciously try to get as much water as I can.  I can also take some Vitamin B12.  And eat as many green leafy vegetables as possible.  I have found Vitamin C also gives me a some pep. So I feel much better today so I need to follow as many of those little tid-bits as I can!  I think I will pass on eating liver though.....blah!

We are going camping this weekend for Father's Day so I am really looking forward to getting out of the house and trying out our new camper for the first time.  I have to stay out of the sun, can't drink and can't smoke or do alot of phyical activity....wait, now why am I going camping????  Just kidding!  I will just talk, eat and be as obnoxious as possible...shouldn't be too hard!
