Hello,
I know I haven't been posting but These past few weeks have been busy. I have started at least a couple entries & never posted them. Sometimes I’m just not up to it…sometimes I write & move on to the next topic without sharing.
On October 31st I had my first treatment of Taxol. I was given several medications before hand to help alleviate any potential allergic reactions. The Benadryl knocked me out and I slept through a good portion of the treatment. However, everything went smoothly. That evening I had enough energy to take our boys trick or treating.
I was told I would be really sore and achy. So far I'm feeling very little bone pain. similar to the bone pain I get from the Neupogen shots (those are the ones that boost my white blood cell production). I was told neuropathy is another symptom. Which is nerve damage in the fingers and toes that causes a prickly sensation and numbness. They say it wont start until after a couple of treatments. I get treatments every week on wednesdays & Blood tests every tuesdays. I see my oncologists every 3 weeks for my follow ups.
My treatments:
- Taxol
- Benadryl
- Decadron
- Pepcid
All in all everything is good except that chemobrain has turned me into such an air head lol! I’m also gaining weight that I can’t lose right now.. I have muscle & joint aches all throughout the day. Along with other Issues.
Lord, Thank you for my family and friends, & for days that are sunny or gray I simply want to say Thank you, You are so good to us. Amen!
Love Sarah xox
