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
