Update and Thank You

[Sheila]

I posted in the old thread but I didn't want anyone to miss my heartfelt thankyou to all of you for your support.
Taxotere started today.

As always, I know where to come when I need a lift....I started Taxotere today....Aloxi and benedryl as premeds, and of course 3 doses of dexamethasone...and now Neulasta, Zyrtek, Nexium and wig shopping...guess I have found a new way to get rid of gray hair!

Again, thank you for all the love and support and prayers...each and every one of you have touched me and helped me heal in a way you may not even know!

Hoping this will be my new miracle, until other options open up!

I am so glad you posted. I have been thinking about you, hoping you found something and of course you were in my prayers.
Love your humor about wigs and gray hair. You are right of course. We can be any color, length and style we want to be with wigs. We don't need to bother coloring our hair or expensive hair products. Just pop on the wig and off we go !!!!!!!!!!
All the best to you Sheila. I am keeping my fingers crossed that Taxotere will bring you some relief from those pesky mets. Take good care of yourself and let us know how you are doing.

Glad to hear from you see that fighting spirit shine through. Keeping you in prayers as you slay the rogue cells once again!

And as always--we know "Bald is Beautiful"!!

Sheila,

Fingers and toes crossed for success! I have been thinking of you constantly and you are definitely in my prayers. I hope you can feel them coming though as you recover from your infusion. Let us know how it goes for you. That Aloxi is good stuff.

Thanks for the update SheilaGirl ... you know we
all love you lots .... and don't forget the banana option ... sometimes wigs are hot in the summer ... cotton bananas let the air flow through ... I'm just saying ... :)

the taxotere is going to kick that node progression right to the curb. ((hugs)) You are such an inspiration, especially to us newly diagnosed gals. Sending you lots of prayers and positive energy.

Dear Sheila, What an inspiration you are. I just reread your "bio" and you have joyously posted your 10 year anniversary. In between you have had to fight and fight. I loved the one where you were back up to mile of walking. So once again, may these drugs do their work and you can get your health back. Wishing you all the best and sending love to you as you tackle the pesky buggers. This is hard work and you have a great attitude. We are all behind you 100%.

Love to you,

[alicem]

I've been so busy lately with work and my oldest daughter's wedding last weekend that I haven't been able to stop by the forum. You are in my prayers Sheila, Love you!!
