Thanks!
Thank you all for your encouragement. Beth I am relieved to hear that the throat thing is not just me. I 'm sorry that you had to go through that too. Yes it does feel like really severe Strep. I try to drink but can't keep anything down. Even plain water. I am taking Maxerane every 4 hours.
Today i am feeling better. It is a beautiful sunny day here and i am going to go for a walk with the kids and "Bad" dog, Henry. He's not really bad just too busy and not getting the attention he feel's he deserves. Sucks when momma is not feeling well.
I am bucking up for the third and FINAL taxotere on the 27th. Then I can let things heal. Here'e hoping that Radiation goes by smoother.
Love
Michelle
