Chemo Cycle # 3

I appreciate all of you so much as each time it lifts my sprits when I send out a text asking for prayer. When we're getting close to Beechnut exit that's when I start worrying about the side effects and surely I had one on first day at 2:30 am my stomach ache and I could feel nausea,kept me wake .

Dr.Shalan changed my prescription for nausea stronger tri-pack (Emend). I was supposed to take it yesterday after treatment except Walgreens was out. They were able to fill my prescription today Tuesday I'm feeling nausea eating lite soups,gingerale,yogurt,liguids. Today Tuesday, I had to go back in Dr.Shalan to get Nuelasta injection to boost my WBC to prevent infections. Side effects is aching in the bones and muscles. Hopefully I will not get mouth sores this round. I made sure I was eating ice during my treatment .Wed 16th I have Dr. Richardo appt @4pm my left breast the lymph modes are shrinking to where it's painful and swollen or the clips when the biospy were done they could be infected or my harmones glands going wacky with chemo meds. Oct 23rd I go for labs only at 11am.

It took 3 chemo treatment realizing they draw blood wk and must be tested from my port.

I always turn my face ,I don't like seeing the needle going into my port , that's when she fills a small bottle of blood and runs test. If my WBC are very low they will not give me chemo for the month I will be sent home. Nurse gave me thumbs up you passed and I asked her what are you talking about?

Always learning . Good news : I will only have one left and I m thankful for that.  Chemo cycle #4  

Nov. 4th at 10am. Follow by Pet Scan ( body scan) review on tumors ,lymph modes determine how much they have shrink the oncologist and surgeon will review my case. Dr Shalan didn't want to speculate on the 12 weekly treatments. Please pray that I can stay strong through the weekend.

Much Love to all,
