7 Down 1 To Go

Yes, it is me writing, I received my 7th chemo treatment yesterday (3rd treatment of both Taxol and Herceptin). It was a long long day. We arrived at the hospital at 8:30 for my lab work, but my chemo did not start until 12:30. We finally finished at 4:15. I managed to keep the queasies at bay until about 4pm. With so many drugs in my system (close to 2 pints) I was feeling pretty sick by the end. I came home home and slept 2 hours and then had a very light dinner. I got up this morning and helped get the kids off toschool, but am feeling a bit tired, weak and have an upset stomach. Definetely, will take it easy since I know the fevers will begin tonight. Good news is only one more chemo sesion. I hope to meet with a radiation oncologist to determine how/when my radiation therapy will be administered. Hugs to everyone.

    Hi Cheryl, We in San Diego are sending good thoughts and wishes your way. We know that Laureen the Queen is helping out. I moderated my first Childhelp meeting on Tuesday, where we mentioned YOU, as Laureen shared a story in our newsletter. Take care and rest when you can. Your smile says it all - who cares about hair?
