Reminds Me Of A Gun-fight In A Western Movie
 

I Feel Like I'm Prepariing For A Show-down Between The Good Guy And Bad Guy. Just Me And My Cancer In The Chemo Room, Waiting To See Who Makes The Next Move. Does It Know I Have My ''Red Devil'' A/C Treatments Planning To Blast It Away Or Is It Waiting To Kick Me In The Gut Again. I Know It Never Fights Fair & Is Just Waiting To Pull The Rug Out From Under Me. I Know It Will Throw Dirt In My Eye And Stab Me In The Back. If I Ever Get Ahead Of It For Just A Moment I Can Hear It Whispering That Line From The Terminator Movie ''I'll Be Back''.

I Hope My A/C Will Blast It To Bits And I Can Whisper Back ''Hasta La Vista Baby.''

I'm starting a posse...I also fought the Red Devil, so I have some experience! Anyone else that wants to join the posse, it is open enrollment!!! Good luck, "Kid".

I also fought the Red Devil and won! (for now anyway). Best of luck to you!

I'll join! ma

Red devil... sounds pretty scary to me. I am praying for a complete response.

Strength and healing prayers being sent to you.

It's that cancer that should fear the Red Devil. I guess it's sort of like having the baddest gunslinger in the west...on YOUR side!

I'm with you and hoping this does the trick.

Best wishes, prayers and hopes to you!

Carolyn

Hoping your gunslinger wins the fight!

Great analagy!
 

I had the red devil too three years ago and so far cancer has been afraid to face another show down.
Hoping it's as sucessful for you Sheila!

Sheila....

May sound silly, but what is the REd Devil?

There are NO "silly" questions here. Some of us are just a little farther along in our fight and knowledge and are here to give info.

RED DEVIL = Adriamycin, a really potent and nasty form of chemotherapy.

ALso known as BIG RED or BIG BAD RED, it is given as an IV push from a big syringe and is a reddish color. Turns to a milder looking pinkish color when infused with saline as it is slowly given.

This drug is pretty hard on a person in general, with side effects and hair loss.

BTW - I had it in weekly doses and was never sick to my stomach.

Steph, thanks for clarifying this. I did not have that, i had taxotere.

Hi "Not" -
I drew the lucky number to have BOTH the Adriamycin AND the Taxotere. Taxotere was much harder on me, given the every 3-week dose ...
