(#2) Paclitaxel & Bay 80-6946 Infusion

I've been so busy at MD Anderson Hospital after we had consultation meeting with Dr. Booster on March 13. I'm so pleased with my team group Dr.'s and nurses they're here to help me cure the cancer that remained and spreaded. After surgery I had to wear compression sleeve and glove given to me by surgeon. I've been diagnose with Lymphedema and attended 1 class therapy. On Wed. I go to therapy here at MD. And I give blood work every Wednesday. We're mostly at Md Anderson hospital booked with appointments. It's a total of 12 Chemo Treatments ending on May 20,2014. I was tested for BRCA1,BRCA2(breast cancer 1and 2).  (Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer) gene analysis. My results came back and they were Negative!!!!! That was a blessing for the family.

Side effect on new treatment last week I was nausea one day I took one Ondansetron pill and it helped. Other then feeling fatigue. I'm still on pain management controlling pain on my left arm Dr says tumor is squeezing my arm nerves. Shoulder gives out I can't shop no more than 30 min. The left side of my neck  I have to watch cells aren't getting bigger size. My chest is improving with first treatment I see where it's drying up and all the oozing pus coming out and has bad odor. I'm taking pictures after each treatment to see if it's improving. All my medications were changed now I'm on Oxycontin 20milli,every twelve hrs. Oxycodone 5milli. Every 4hrs or pain,breakthrough .  I'm taking Synthroid for thyroid. Gabapentin for nerve pain on arm. Side effect I could loose my hair so I'm putting my recent picture of me. I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter weekend. Take Care .
