Round Five

Yesterday was round five... only 3 more rounds to go!! Happy dance!!

This was my first of a different kind of chemo called Taxol. It took 4 hours instead of 2 in the chemo chair because they gave me more pre-meds during the infusion to avoid allergic reactions. One of those pre-meds was benedryl which made me really sleepy. I had trouble sleeping during the infusion with all the lights and activity, but was able to get in a good nap at home. The effects of the benedryl seemed to wear off during the evening and I've been fine since. (except for being unable to sleep past 4:30am!!)

So far today I think all is well. But then again, day 2 has always been ok. I guess I need to get through Monday to really know if I'm going to tolerate this kind better.

For now, I'm looking forward to an awesome Thanksgiving dinner with my family. Mmmm...
