Starting Chemo in Nov. 2011...anyone else?

Thanks friends!  I appreciate your good wishes.  I am hoping all of us will keep on the right track and kick the BC crap to the curb!  Have a great weekend and know that I am grateful for your friendship!

Wahoo GrandmaV!!!!

Thanks, Sue and Nel.

So happy for you, Linda and Grandma! 

Have a great week everyone!

The Navelbine seems to be working! My bumps are shrinking. They feel like thousands of needles are sticking them but I can see and feel it working. Finally a good positive for me. Thus chemo is rough on me physically but when I can see the results, it is worth the pain.

I pray good days for each of you.

Beth,

Wonderful news!

Beth, I'm so happy its working!

Grandma ~ I would be thrilled if all of us keep having "uneventful" appointments with the MO's.  That is my major goal in life!  Glad you are an uneventful patient right now...that is so wonderful. 

I'm here Linny.  Happy fall to all as well

Here 's to uneventful doctor appointments, Grandma! Most of us were diagnosed in September, so this makes 3 years for us now. It is funny. In some ways it seems like it was just yesterday that we started our journeys together, and in other ways it seems like such a long time ago. I have my mammogram and oncologist check next week. Hopefully, they will also be boring and routine. 

Beth, I always got a shot of something because of low counts when I was getting taxotere and cytoxyn chemo. I can't remember if that was the name of it or not, but after my white count was so low a few days after the first infusion, they just routinely sent me for the shot the day after each infusion. And it really worked, raised the count pretty high pretty fast. I hope you get to give the babies their birthday kisses. Have a safe trip. 

Hi everyone, I've been without I internet for a while and it looks like it will be a while longer.  I've missed checking in with you all. My son stopped by for a few minutes so I tapped into his to let you know.  will explain more when I get mine back.  Beth, hang in there. 

Welcome back!

Welcome back Grandma! I am still trying to find answers to these bumps. I hate to think that the chemo is not working. I had low counts this week so no chemo. It is very scary and I am fighting depression. My husband is trying to keep my mood up but he works 2nd shift so I am home alone at night. I can't drive because of the pain pills. I'm sorry to complain but I need to get it out. 

I hope each of you have blessed days!

Beth, thank you.  We don't mind the complaining.   This is the place to get it out.  I hope those bumps soon disappear.  Like Nel said this is frightening.  You're in my prayers.  Hugs from me too.
