First Taxotere

I have had another rough week. The Taxotere hit me hard. I have been laying low, with aches and pain, diarhea and a low grade fever for the past 3 days and now have a thrush infection. Len took me into the cancer center today after I talked to my nurse. She wanted to check my blood levels. Surprisingly the levels were better than she expected. She hooked me up to an IV giving me one liter of hydration in hopes of "perking" me up. She thinks that I may have a virus or possibly just run down from getting my Taxotere too soon after the FEC. I am so tired of being tired all the time! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Len and I will be celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary on Friday. Of course, he is working 9-9 so the celebration will have to wait until Saturday. We are so lucky to have spent so many great years together and look forward to many, many more. We would also like to wish our daughter and son-in-law (Robyn and Dustin) happy 5th anniversary - they were also married on July 3.

Happy 4th of July to all of our friends and family! We love you all and appreciate all the support!

Love you mom. I'm really sorry your not feeling well. :(


Also wanted to add that Bullet *dog* is going to turn 5 tomorrow. So if you want me to make cake or something we have a reason to eat it. (Although my cooking? hmm....)
