Last night was my very very last nupogen shot!  Wooooooohooooooooo!  I don't have to stick my poor tummy any more.

I wanted to thank you all for taking the time to read about me, and for your support.  I really appreciate it and it has made so many things easier.

So AC is over.  I feel like I'm walking along a bridge of health that is getting narrower and narrower. It's become a balance beam, and I'm getting closer and closer to falling off.  Thank god the AC is over. I feel pretty weak and I don't want to fall.

Jenni came down and took care of me this time, and when she had to go home Ben and Sion stepped in. This last round I had less nausea, but more fatigue.  I spent last week mostly on the couch or in bed.  This week I've caught Zoom's cold.  Hooray for Chinese medicine mouth and throat pills!  Actually, I'm going to show them to my oncologist because they have kept my mouth/throat much happier this whole time.

The last 8 weeks, or 56 days, Ive felt various degrees of yucky for about 40 or so of that. It's crazy to think of.  My doctor says that with the "T" chemo treatments over the next 12 weeks, that the "T" (or pacilitaxel) is "better tolerated" (isn't that a funny yet eerily accurate description?) by patients.  So he says I should get some of my energy back and my hair might start growing back too. :)  Weird that my eyebrows are still on my face.  I know a lot of women loose those, but mine apparently don't want to go!

Food is different.  My mouth isn't sore, per say, but extremely sensitive to salt, spice, sour.... carbonated drinks and wine just hurt.  Not that I want to drink much of them anyway. 

Friday is the first of the new "T" treatments.  We'll see what happens :) Teri is going to come henna my head in the beginning of Feb.  I can't wait!
