No more AC, no more Taxol!
Sure, I still have to deal with Herceptin and Perjeta; but from what they tell me, that'll be easy.
The night before my last round of taxol. Chemo round 16, for anyone that is counting... Heather and I decided to go to the Garth Brooks concert. We ate dinner at Brio Tuscan Grill. The food was good, but a bit too heavy for my tummy. It made it so that I had to take three separate bathroom breaks during the concert!
Potty trips aside, Garth was amazing. The man is an entertainer.
And Trisha Yearwood earned a few more points, in my book, by performing a song, dedicated to breast cancer patients.
While Heather and I were at the concert, Nick took our kids to Heather's house. And he and Jeff fed the children. My kids slept over at Heather's house, so that Nick could take me to chemo appointment the next morning.
I was so tired, but so happy.
Sadly, Gary wasn't there for my last taxol treatment! I think I heard the other nurses mention that he had food poisoning! Poor guy.Of course, the nurse assigned to me didn't do a great job accessing my port.
And my new case-worker, Alex, was on vacation. So, Nick and I had to wait For-Ev-Er, to get things done.
I'm really missing Lori, my old caseworker.
As of today, I still don't know how things are going to work when it comes to my radiation treatments?
And my next round of chemo isn't scheduled yet either.
I'm sure it will all happen, in due time. But for someone that is regimented as I am, not being able to put those important things on my calendar is driving me crazy!

Loved all the updates! I'm glad you're heading into a new phase of treatment that won't be so rough. But, you have handled the rough stuff amazingly well.
Amen to your friend Jill!
You've been busy writing and doing things and it was fun to read all the news. Congratulations of having reached the 16 Chemo milestone - what a ride!!
