Ok, we are on the downhill side. Chemo #5 went very well. This was the beginning of a new drug, Taxol. This affects the nerve endings in my hands and feet and with the white blood cell booster shot it also affected my hip and knee joints for about 2 1/2 days. This was a little more than uncomfortable for nothing gave me any relief and I had a couple of sleepless nights. This went away and everything was great, I had more energy, didn't have to take naps and I was able to put more time in the classroom teaching, both at the studio and at the Visitation Academy.
My doctor is very pleased with my treatments and how I am handling the chemo. I also did not have to have a red blood cell booster shot with this treatment. That was good news.
Thanks for all your continued thoughts and prayers. I feel that when I go to chemo, I am a player and my whole team is with me, and I hit a homerun at every game. Your support is what keeps me going and Jim and I are most grateful. Thanks again. I love you all.
