Chemo #5

This time around I had a lot more nausea after chemo on Thursday and Friday morning. Then came the Neulasta shot on Friday afternoon. The pain began on Saturday afternoon and was mostly gone by Monday afternoon. Today I am almost back to my non-pain self. I found a fairly effective therapy of Tramadol, Acetaminophen and Lorazepam which helped me to "zone" out and sleep off and on for 2 full days. Today, I have only had Acetaminophen for the pain. Only one more FEC treatment left then 4 Taxatere chemo treatments. We talked to the chemo nurse and she said that "sometimes" the Neulasta shot isn't needed after the Taxatere treatments. That would be wonderful!!!! The pain from that shot has been the hardest part of my chemo so far.

I spent this morning at JoAnn Fabrics getting baby girl quilting fabric. I even found a great pattern that I would love to use, but I have to downsize it since it is for a twin size bed. I am really anxious to get started on it.

My next chemo is scheduled for next Wednesday (June 10) so that I can join our tandem tour on the following Tuesday. I probably won't be doing much riding, but it will be nice to be able to follow the tour and spend time with our friends.
