Halfway Done!

[Mickey527]

I had my 4th chemo yesterday. It is not hitting me as hard so far maybe because he reduced the dose by 10%.
I have some nausea but nothing the medicine can't handle.
My bad day is usually 6 days after so hopefully I will be able to post good news on that day and not have Caroline post the "she's in the hospital again" post.
I am still not healing so the twice daily nurses continue. But the Dr feels although it is slow it is doing ok.
I am halfway through chemo. I start the Taxol on January 6th. The Dr says the Taxol is much easier so I am looking forward to that. He said it won't reduce my counts as much but I will have bone pain because this med goes after the little bugs in the bone marrow. I can take the pain much more than the hopsital visits.
Hope everyone has a great Christmas, and New Year if I don't make it on the boards before then.
I miss Mickey! Peggie

Peggie
Glad to hear a bit of good news! Maybe that is all you needed was that little reduction and I hope it is the same good effects on Day 6.
can you take advil or pain meds when you start the Taxol?

Hang in there and I will pray that it will continue to be YOU that keeps ups posted.....no more Caroline update notes! hehehehehe

Hang in there, Peggie! We'll keep you in our prayers, that's for sure.

And I'm positive that Mickey misses you, too!

The entire Clan MacGowan wishes you a very Merry Christmas, and a very Happy and Healthy New Year, too!

Rock 'em, sock 'em, Peggie! The second half will fly by faster, and you'll be on to the next step before you know it.

I hope the luck is running your way with the reduced dose, and you get to spend a pleasant holiday with your family.

Gentle hugs from Maryland!
