Today, I had my first Taxol treatment. I have to take high doses of steroids to help with treatment and they also give me benedryl which luckily puts me to sleep. I like the concept of sleeping through treatment. :)
Taxol takes half the time for treatment than "red devil." That's a nice blessing too.
You will see that my hands and feet are on ice packs. This constricts the blood vessels so that the chemo doesn't get to my extremities. Taxol causes neuropathy. However, if the chemo can't get there, it can't do damage. It is cold, for sure, but I am willing to be cold in order to not have neuropathy for a lifetime.
Thank you to everyone for your faith and prayers. God is blessing me so much!
Still fighting the good fight!
