Getting Ready To Start TAXOL


So Monday is my first treatment with the second drug. For this drugs I have to take steroids the day before.. the morning of.. right before... after.. and for a few days after.. if that tells you how scary this drug is. In many ways though it will very possibly be better because the nausea is so much less, and it doesn't hurt your heart!


Also after this treatment which is # 5 I will only have 3 more! I can NOT wait to be done! I want my hair back.. haha. As for AC it seems I got very lucky, and my counts have been recovering the same or better then before treatment! As long as they keep up, I will stay on track and be done shortly after the new year!

The one thing is the dizziness the second week has begun to hang on with its evil claws a little bit longer with each treatment.. it went from one day to now three. Luckily it passes and I still have good days where I feel normal, aside from being a Baldy haha. I still have my eyebrows AND eyelashes! and I hope they hang in there as well.. but if they don't at least I have Zoey, who is always good for a laugh. Puppies don't care if you have eyebrows thankfully :p
