Treatment Taxol/Herceptin 10 of 12

November 18, 2014 Taxol/Herceptin 10 of 12

After the crappy week I had, the thought of going in for another round of treatment was definitely more discouraging.  But things went quite well this past week.  My high school friend Abbey came down to take me to my treatment, which was super nice.  During all the pre-meds we gobbled down our subs and had fun catching up and talking about kids, her kegerator, and life in general.  As soon as they gave me the benedryl and lorazapam it was lights out for me.  I woke up a little bit on the uneasy side, I could've slept for a couple more hours.

We had a little time when we got back to the house before the kiddos came home.  Andy had a basketball game so I was thankful that Abbey stayed and helped get the kids fed, homework done, and ready for bed.  It would've been a hard night by myself without her.

The rest of the week went better than the previous ones.  I've needed to take some of my nausea medicine a little bit more each week because I have felt sick to my stomach a couple of times.  The fatigue is just there, nothing that I can get rid of right now and just have to deal with.  I started to sew some sweater mittens this week.  I was pretty impressed with my sewing ability.  The mittens are made out of wool sweaters, so don't get ride of any wool sweaters.  I'll take them and start my own mitten shop or something:)  Although I will share that I after making my first two pairs of mittens without any problems, I went to make the next two pairs and ended up with 4 right handed ones:)  So maybe the mitten shop isn't such a good idea.
