I have only 6 more weekly Taxols left. I knew this was going to be a long trip and I tried to prepare myself mentally. But it has not been like the trips we have taken in retirement the last two years! This has felt like driving 18 hour days with no potty breaks. Yet I am on the last leg of the journey. I hope to pick up speed and this will go fast.
With this being said my body is having a hard time to keep up my counts. It is taking a chemo beating. They were lower this week but just barely high enough for a treatment. I did cut the pre-steroids in half before the infusion. The infusion nurse said they do keep give the bloodwork a false positive reading. So next week will only be 6 days between infusions and I will go back to taking the 4 steroids prior. I will do anything to keep the treatments on schedule.
Also some side effects are happening that have never happened in the last 4 months so I know my body is just getting zapped left and right. More of my good cells are being destroyed. I am good with this as long as it is attacking and eating up the cancer cells.
I don't have much planned this week. Karmen and Chris are doing family and close friends trial dinners this weekend at their new restaurant. Rick and Karlene are going down Saturday night but I just can't make the trip. I hope to help Adam for a bit with the boys. Otherwise since it is hot out I think I will begin some fall cleaning.
Take time to enjoy something for yourself everyday!
