Cool

I finished chemo 11-05 and Herceptin 8-15-06. I have noticed that my eyelashes and brows are beginning to thicken, finally. My fingernails are slowly growing and improving. I lost all of them, probably from the Taxotere. I only experienced headaches when I would get an infusion without Tylenol. My hair is growing faster (including on my legs---I could do without that). I am stilling swelling a lot in my ankles. I have been on 40 mg lasix x2 daily since Nov. I sometimes think this is better, but not much. The memory and loss of words seems to be getting better, although I still say things that I don't intend to sometimes. I teach school and the kids just look at me like I'm crazy. My energy level is better. Hopefully this progress will continue. I will post again after a few more months.
