Week 3 - Second Round - DONE!!!

Well today was Week 3 of the second round. I met with Dr Welt today and he is very happy with my progress. Little concern regarding the neuropathy (numbness) in my left hand and sure that feeling will return once I complete the third round.

I asked him what happens next - once all three rounds are done -- and he said no more scans because the others all showed positive things. We will schedule an appointment with Dr. Prouix (Radiation dr) at that time and I will have 2 - 4 weeks off before I start with him.

I am feeling pretty good - my actual weight loss is 32.25 pounds - I had a "Faulty" start weight But that is still really good. Am hopeful I will sleep some tonite (the steroids kick my butt) so say a little prayer for good sleep. I have a slight sore throat and since I am going to San Diego next Sunday I am going in to be checked tomorrow morning - just a precaution.

Thanks for reading my blog. WE ARE ALMOST DONE!!!
I love you all, B

Today was the second treatment in round 2. Everything went well. I'm down 34.5 pounds! This has caused some discomfort with my port but it's not a big deal. Hopefully I will have a great week.
Thanks for checking my blog. I love you all. B

So it's week 2 of my second round of Abraxane

Thanks Tom for reminding me to update this. Least I can do since all of you are trying to find out what is going on with me.

I had my week off - but I was pretty depressed the whole week. I expected to have a "BONUS" good week - you know where I felt better than I had in a long time - due to the fact that I didn't have any chemo. I didn't feel bad but I didn't feel much better than normal. So I wasn't very nice to most everyone around me. SORRY :(

We were at Bucktail for this whole time and I found out that I can get my blood tests done at the Guthrie in Mansfield. The girls there are very nice and were very accomodating.

My first treatment in my second regimen went well - good blood return on my port which is always one of my biggest concerns since I want to be able to use the port for all of the chemos. I had the same symptoms as before - achy tummy, bone and muscle aches, those kinds of things. Dr Welt asked about any really "bad" side effects and I told him there really were none.

The bottoms of my feet all peeled off - really - just like a sock -- and now my two big toe nails are falling off. I'm just a mess -- OH WELL. But my legs and ankles look better - the marks are starting to fill in with color and look more like my own skin. I'm going to start with the Mederma this week to help them along.

Tomorrow is round two of the second regimen. I don't have to see the Dr this week and we are going to go home for tonite from Bucktail. I'm gonna sleep in my own bed. YEAH. Rob has already left with the kids the dog and the cat. I'm finishing up some work and then heading home.

Thanks for caring enough to read this. I'll try to do better about more postings.

All my Love -- B
