Hi Everybody,
Sitting in infusion for my 5th round of Taxol (all ready had the 4 rounds AC). Got just a little cocky and paid the price. The Taxol just seemed so much easier to bear than the Adriamycin and Cytoxin that "Dr. Koponen" decided to stop taking the nausea medicine (don't like taking meds if I don't need to). Well, Friday night wasn't fun...the nausea wasn't as bad as it could get with the AC but still. Totally self inflicted!!! So - just a heads up - if it ain't broke - don't fix it...maybe one reason you're feeling better is the meds are working!?!? Duh!
I also understand what you all meant about the numbness and tingling in your feet...woke up Monday morning and felt like I had two wooden blocks at the end of my ankles....how incredibly uncomfortable! It got better as the week went on but I'm definitely keeping my eyes on that side effect - YUCK! I really felt like I was walking like a duck for a couple of days....not that I'm the picture of grace under normal circumstances but come on!
I'm a redhead today....brunette yesterday....still haven't found a blonde wig that looks good...my favorite is still the pink...wore it to infusion last week at the request of the nurses!
I've got to go through and read all the shareposts now to catch up with you all!
Take care!
Love,
Koponen
