It's been a nice respite the last 2 weeks. I've felt great. Today I swam 3/4 mile - the most I've ever done. It felt GREAT. I am thrilled that I've felt so good. I only hope that the Taxol is kind to me. I am trying not to feel to anxious about starting up this next phase. I'll be glad when I know what it will feel like and how long it will take to recover between infusions. I am hoping the next three months whiz by. I'd bet with the holidays and all that comes along with them, time will fly. I just want to get to the end of January so I can move on to recovery and say goodbye to this crap!
A co-worker of mine gave me a great graphic novel called "Cancer Vixen" about a cartoonist who is diagnosed with breast cancer. It's the woman's memoir and it's really well done and so interesting to read. It's the first comic book I've been into! Thanks Cheryl for sending it to me - you hit the jackpot with both books. Also, I'll admit, I'm a fan of the show Brothers & Sisters and one of the characters is fighting lymphoma and on the last episode she shaved her head because her hair was starting to fall out from chemo. Jason asked me why in the world I'd want to watch a show like that right now, but for some reason I am hooked. I guess it all seems so realistic and I sure as hell can relate.
I'll be back again on the other side of tomorrow, hopefully feeling just as good as today!

Good luck today!! Moving on to a new phase is always a good thing, even if it is the great unknown. I hope it all goes swimmingly.
