C4 D2

Well I don't know about you but I'm pleasantly surprised at how well I feel this morning. I was pretty miserable during the infusion yesterday, I literally got nauseous walking into the hospital. I was really really dreading it. We were in and out in 2.5 hours which was nice. I was wiped out and in bed by 1:30 and at 3:45 I had my first spell of dry heaves. Another one an hour later and then I took some compazine and passed out for almost 2 hours. When I woke up I felt a lot better and Jason and I took a walk around the block and enjoyed the gorgeous sunset. We hung out and watched a few shows together and I was in bed by 9:30. This was a first for day of chemo. I was usually knocked out the whole afternoon. I slept for 10 hours (the most sleep I've had in one night in I can't even tell you how long!). This morning I woke up and had a good breakfast and and now I'm trying to decide what to do with myself today. Swim? Yoga? Walk? or just lay on the couch. I am surprised at how well I feel and I don't want to push my luck. There's always laundry to keep me busy...

Of course I am ecstatic that this is my last round of AC - I couldn't be more pleased to say goodbye to the disgusting red drug that literally just made me gag as I thought about it. But now I am starting to think about the Taxol. I start with that on November 11. It's weekly and I have no idea what side effects I will be faced with. So another waiting game begins, but for now I will try not to think too much about it and just get through the next few days.

Anyways, I'm very relieved to have the majority of this particular drug behind me and look forward to my up days which will hopefully start on Tuesday or Wednesday. There are lots of fun things coming up that I can look forward to - Halloween, my sister and nephew's visit and the holidays. I certainly will have lots to celebrate and be thankful for this year.

My love to everyone for all of your amazing, continued support....
