thank you husband for the support

I got no 4 Taxotere infusion yesterday, started along with Xeloda.

Lungs struggle, normal. (On steroids next 4 days)

Cough, normal. (On codein next 4 four days)

Fatique not yet kicked in (already a couch potato)

Possible low blood counts (started on high protein intake, beef, a drink mix mom prepares,

White peel & the rest of course of watermelon)

For my İntestinal protection, avoid probiotics (yes I have I have the opposite problem) use home made yoghurt.

No dairy product with lean protein!

So far so far good.

This is the transition therapy, yet I'll keep sharing news, which I know will effect the decision on the next decision.

Seems like no summerhouse this year as no stable therapy set yet. And I do have more comfortable environment here, to be honest. My parents arrived to celebrate to coming up Eid this weekend, swimming in the pool by the house is definitely is more convenient than walking down the sea. And staying by the shade is easier. But, must most of all, DH wants me by his side. DS will probably return to Mom's summerhouse, that's the most conveninent for him.

Over the last 5 years with MBC, I found out, DH & I need each other than DS. Children need healthy social relationships, friends, activities, spending equal time with grannies, preparing them to stand them on on their feet. The remaining half time with mom & dad become so much more quality added, I have positively been surprised to observe. And DS feels confident more as a familiy member. All these have been planned and experierinced along with our psychologist of course.

And what a relief and freedom from stress of worrying from his future. Trust me I already observed 2 very clse friends passing away and their DD/DS & DH have moved on faster than I thought am very happy for them!
