You should do fine on this treatment. Just think, only 11 more with chemo involved. Herceptin alone is like nothing and your hair will start growing back too!!!


Have a great evening.

Tracy,

I hope you do well on the taxol tx. I had mine dense dose. I think I'd have preferred weekly.

I think you will be fine!

I'm a couple treatments ahead of you . I'll keep you posted on how I'm handling it. Hopefully, it will give you encouragement. (if you need it!). It's sounds like your doing quite well, mentally with all of this.
I felt just as good after the 2nd as I did the 1st.
Today was my 3rd treatment.
Only difference is that the tipsy/sleepy feeling went away after about 5 hrs instead of 2 or 3. My legs also feel achy today. Don't know if that's from chemo or from not exercising enough. Guess I'll start on a more strict exercise plan tomorrow.
By 9pm I was feeling "normal" again.
Here it is 1pm and I think I'm suffering from insomnia lately.
Sleep for couple of hours at night, then up for 1 hr or so.
I think it's more due to everything going thru my mind more at night.
Hopefully, the insomnia will improve over time.
Woo Hoo! 3 down 9 to go!
25% done! Glass quarter full!
