Taxol Chemo - Round 9

Only 3 more chemos to go!!  I am so excited.  I can see light at the end of the tunnel and I am starting to make PLANS again!!  That's a great feeling.  As I reflect on the past few months there have been some really bad days and some not so bad days and some pretty good days.  So I feel like it's been a long haul, but not a bad one.  Please find that as encouragement for anyone else just starting this journey...you can make it and be ok.  It gets really old at times...but you can do it!!

I am very anxious to get my strength and stamina back. I literally come up from downstairs in the basement and huff and puff dripping in sweat from carrying a laundry basket.....that is sooooo sad!  I have some MAJOR exercising to do if I am going to get back to a size that doesn't repulse me, so I certainly hope the complete fatigue gets better.  I am going to ask me doctor if he recommends any supplements.  He's a good drug pusher!! LOL -- just kidding!

A big thank you goes out to all my drivers that have taken me to chemo.  What a great help all of you are as I really don't think I can drive there and back by myself, especially not during this last chemo of Taxol....the Benadryl makes me too sleepy!  A big shout out goes to my mom and Al, Sandy Trampe, my hubby Mike, Dianna Haywood, my sister Christy Porter, Stacy Peden, Kristi Myers, Angie Klaver & Karen Hammers (who takes me next week and I cannot wait!!  too see her that is, not the chemo - I am not too excited about that, other than getting thru it!) 

Hope everyone had a safe 4th. I saw the fireworks and didn't swelter too badly. Hadley loved them!  Missing my son Palmer though, he will be home in less than a month!!  Yay!!
