HALF WAY

I am officially half way thru my chemo!!!! In 2 wks I will start the taxol. This is suppose to be easier on the GI tract but not so nice on the neuro stuff. I have trigeminal neuralgia (facial pain that comes and goes) so I am sure that will act up. Thankfully I have the meds for that now so I can get it in my system and hopefully it won't be so bad. The BEST part (sarcastic!) is the 5 pills of STEROIDS the night BEFORE AND the Morning of chemo!!! I am going to be talking so fast and moving around like crazy. I was crazy on 3 of them!!! Should be fun!!!

I am also getting a lupron shot tomorrow. This will basically put me into a temporary menopause. Can't wait! (dripping with loads of sarcasm!). I already have hot flashes so this means I get to enjoy my own personal summer while the rest of you freeze!!! :) Thankfully I "get" to enjoy this in the winter and not the summer!! There is always an up side!!

Tomorrow I head to Hartford again for the lupron and I going to bring my neulasta and just have that done there too. Then I don't have to worry about how to dispose of the syringe!

Have I mentioned how much I love my friends and family??!!!! They are the best that anyone could ask for!!! Jen is taking the kids tomorrow and thurs next week and Erin is coming and taking Abby out for the morning then will come back and make lunch, get her on the bus,  and feed Eli when he gets home!!!! I am so thankful for all the friends and family that God has given to me. Oh and we got a great dinner tonight and another coming tomorrow and Monday!!! Not only do we have the best friends/family, they can cook!!!!

So a very good day today. Now to rest for the next 4-5days and get through the side effects when/if they hit me!
