Hello,
I have neglected the blog, I apologize. My third chemo treatment went very well, with my sister Joanne keeping me company. I went for my CBC blood work last Friday and my test results came back with low white blood cells but no lower than expected. I am eating well and exercising and I expect my blood work will be better when I go in for my 4th treatment next Tuesday. That treatment will be the the halfway mark in my chemo sessions. The final four sessions will be a different drug for me, Taxotere. Interestingly enough it is made from a rare Pacific yew tree. I've been told by the cancer nurses that many people are allergic to this drug so they give benedrayl before the chemo, to help with allergy reactions and side effects. May 17th is the first scheduled treatment for this drug. Feel free to pray for this session.
My blood pressure is also coming along well. I did increase my blood pressure medication and am continuing to see my general doctor for this.
I am still praying for and researching radiation treatments. Prayer is welcome here also.
Thank you again for the continued prayers and cards. Some of you have gone way beyond the standard expectations sending cards and well wishes. Your love and care is still warming my heart. I thank you all, friends, family and coworkers, and the line is blurred within those groups. Thank you all so much.
