Seven and Counting ...

You are absolutely right about highs and lows being part of the cancer experience.  I think it does help in a low to remember that you've been through this cycle before, and that you will feel better.  I'm a big believer in the value of occasionally going to bed and pulling the covers over my head while I wallow in anger, grief, and self-pity.  I'm also a big believer in asking for some medication if the lows last more than a few days or if they prevent you from functioning.

I hope the Taxotere continues to shrink your tumors.  Hang in there!

Hi Daria,

Keep up the good work. An end is in site...you just have to believe. Take it one day at a time. That's what I did. I never thought about next week or next month or next year. Just that day. Each day comes to an end and with it another ugly cancer day is gone.

Get as much rest as possible to rejuvenate yourself.

Good Luck! My thoughts are with you and everyone else going through the same thing.

Thank you for your blog...I've just had my second cycle of taxotere and starting to feel everything you were talking about.  I'm going to have my husband and family read your blog so they can better understand what women go are going through.  Please keep blogging and letting us know how you are doing.  Your determination gives me hope and your honesty helps me accept what is happening to me.
