Chemo -- again...

I'm sure that this weekly chemo will become so routine that I don't even think to blog about it...

I'm doing Taxol in weekly doses.

Last time the side-effects weren't much more than feeling a bit tired -- which could have been because I taught all week and haven't learned that when I teach at 7:45, I need to go to bed before 11:00...

Last time I had a bit of an allergic reaction to it - -nothing major -- so, we'll see what happens...

Thanks so much for the supportive comments you've left about my mom and her breast cancer.

I hope your chemo goes well this time, with no allergic reactions.

I hate it for you that you have to use words like "last time" as you talk about chemo.

Thanks for sharing your struggles and triumphs, and thanks for visiting my blog.

To be clear -- the 'last time' means last week... it isn't as if I'm doing a second course of treatment.

Today was very smooth -- I was feeling a bit warm during the Taxol, but I had an excellent and experienced nurse who realized that I was on the warm side of the room, closed the shades and gave me a cool washcloth for my neck, problem solved.
