Feelin’ all right

Hey guys!

Just wanted to pop up a quick update.

Monday I had an infusion, an had another, but very slight allergic reaction again.  This time I didn’t have to say a word! My fav nurse Jen was looking right at me and before I even flushed she ran over with the oxygen tank and switched me right off! I love that girl! Other than that, it went really well.

side note- Looking for ideas for gifts for my ONC team. If you guys have any good ideas please give them to me. There are 11 people on staff and I really love them all for everything they have done for me and want to show my appreciation for all their hard work.

While I was there, a wonderful woman and friend of Brettany’s mother came to visit me. She is a 15 year BS survivor with a LOAD of wisdom and advice. She’s had it all. Chemo, rads, multiple surgeries. I had so many questions and she was so helpful and I love Suzie! She made me feel so much better about a lot of things.

My hand-foot syndrome and neuropathy is still going strong. Because of this, I have an appointment 9/6 (after my DIEP surgery consult) with my oncologist to discuss if I will even be receiving my last Taxol infusion. Neuropathy can be permanent and literally crippling. So there will be deep discussions about it all. Part of me is just fine with skipping that last infusion. But I also have questions about how that affects the cancer-killing. I don’t want any stragglers in there!  Though- surgery should theoretically get all the rest out- all it takes is one rogue cancer cell to move into the rest of my body. I guess I can’t focus on that too much. I have had a wonderful response so far to all the chemo and feel pretty confident that pathologically- we got it.

 

I emailed out a call for help around the house for Sunday 9/8   – If you did not get the email, please let me know. We need some yard help and I really don’t think it will take more than a few hours. So if you can help- please let me know!!

 

K- have a great day everyone! Love you all!!!
