#5

Treatment #5 I am done with the A/C and on to the Taxol.   It left me very groggy and drugged.  It took 5 hours to take the drip.   I slept thru most of it because the drugs were so strong.   They give it to you very slowly the first time to make sure you dont have a reaction.  It wont take as long next time (about 3-4 hours) .

My sweet sister in law Judy went with me..and I am very grateful to her for doing that as it made for a long day.

I feel very tired and drugged today....but so far just a small touch of nausea.  Thank you sweet baby Jesus.

I did have a reaction from some of the meds in the cocktail they gave me....this is normal, they tell me......face is swollen and bright red...but it seems to be going away.  My tatste buds died right away with this, so I can taste nothing and my mouth is very dry.  It has a weird taste  (from the cocktail) - so I am chewing gum to try to keep the taste from gagging me.  I wont be able t taste anything for a while and I am not really hungry...just really tired.   All of my red and white counts are low...so I went in to get my $7000 booster shot today.   I plan on sleeping this weekend - whoo hoo.  

Gracie has been taking care of me and brought me a strawberry smoothie last night :)

Any way... Allen send me a few pictures from Hungary,,  He says it is very nice in Hungrary and he loves it...I hope he gets to stay on the European team for awhile.  He is really getting to see some nice sites and meeting all kinds of people.  He makes freinds where ever her goes.

More pictures later whenI have some energy....
Have a great weekend.....my sofa is calling me.
