12/31/13 # 7 Cycle ( Taxotere )

Happy New Years to all my family and friends! Thank you again for all your prayers and support- you are what keeps my going!! Seven down and one to go. I'm in the chemo finish line! Jan 21st #8.....On yesterday treatment and Dr. visit he documents my side effects which I was put on antibiotic 
Amox-Clav 875mg and eye drops Moxeza. I came down with allergys sneezing and my eyes were running with fluids 24/7. No temperature higher than 100.4 then I must go directly to emergency hospital in Houston Beechnut . I told him I was still in pain on my left breast it's still swollen and redness pains are coming from my underarm lymph nodes to where I can't reach with that hand. Discomfort where I can't even sleep on my left side otherwise I'm in pain. Dr looked at my breast and noticed no changed from last treatment so he recommend ASAP to schedule appt. Thursday with my breast surgeon. Dr said he would be communicating with her to see what they decide to do after she examine me. I will get back with you'll with results. I was trying to maintain my pain til the end of my 8 treatment. I wanted to be healed completed from those cancerous cells before I go into surgery.
Dr said you've been on antibiotic twice and that still hasn't helped your swelling on your breast so that's why I recommend you go to your surgeon now! Plus Dr. mention  you know that your having a  
Mastectomy  I said yes a double mastectomy .This morning I'm feeling good just moving around baby steps so you won't be stiff . Going to change my diet this first 10 days not to eat roughage foods to prevent my mouth sores. New Year Day I'm eating pasta and black eyes peas and smoked pork neck bones my kids will be cooking. Please begin to pray for knowledge and wisdom for the doctors and for healing from the surgery. I will be back with answers and update blog when I get seen by breast surgeon.
Love, 
Rachel
