Chemo Treat # 4

Good morning all, I apologize for not posting sooner.. I have been so crazy this week. I am now sitting in the docs office receiving my 4th chemo treatment. So far everything is going great. Last week after I saw the doctor we decided to change a few things up. I will still stay with the new chemo cocktail of Taxotere, but they decided it would be best to cut my steroids in half due to the thrush I had after the last treatment. I sure hope it works. They also put me on another medication to help the neuropathy as we still have not found anything to help relieve that. Hopefully this new medicine helps. Once they get me weaned on this med I will take 3 pill 3 times a day.. whew.. that's a lot of meds especially when I was already taking so much. Anyway I truly hope it works. I feel pretty good today.. Had a pretty good couple of weeks at work so I am happy. Please pray that I bounce back quickly from this one. I was informed last Wednesday that the treatments are accumulative so that now concerns me as it will now get a little tougher to bounce back as quickly as I have been. The good thing about knowing this is that I am aware of it now and will not become so depressed when I don't bounce back as quickly as I think I should. I have a friend from work. Her name is Csilla and they just found out her mom has cancer, but before they could get her in to see an oncologist she had a heart attack and had to have a triple bypass. She is now on life support as her body is very weak. Her mind is still going strong, but very heavily sedated now. Please join me in praying for Csilla, her momma and family. I know what prayers can do... They work on me each and every day. I know that God will watch over her and keep her safe and bring her back to her family soon.. well I really have a lot more to tell you, but it looks like I am out of here in about 30 minutes so need to start packing up. I love you all so much and hope you are having a blessed week

  1. Hi Sis,
    I'm so sorry to hear about Csilla's mom. I will definitely include her and her family in my prayers.
    I really hope the switching of your meds helps you. I know it's got to be frustrating!
    You have such a strong outlook, it's got to get better.
    I love you sweetie. Can't wait to see you tonight.
    I love you!
