My counts were low this week so chemo was postponed for a few days. It was really weird. After weeks of being unable to leave my bed (due to chemo & an awful cold/sinus infection), I felt great the week after my 1st Taxol treatment. I took my youngest to the museum, my oldest to the playground, went to lunch with my hubby & even made it to the trainer. I really believed it was my light at the end of the tunnel. "Not so fast," said the universe. Bottom line IT'S STILL CHEMO!
Anyway a week after feeling great & normal, I suddenly felt weak...unable to get out of bed, winded after climbing the stairs, loosing my balance. Hell I even dropped a plate. The highest temp...103.7. I know that def. warrants a trip to the ER. After my first trip, I never want to return. So basically I take Percocet with Tylenol, the fever goes away & I knock out. Of course when I tell my dr about this she tells me all the things that could have happened, including death b/c basically I don't know what my body is fighting. Long story short the next day the fever is gone & I'm better.
But not well enough for chemo. In any event, my oncologist said my tumor is gone. She feels a little something but she thinks it's just scar tissue. I still have to do my last 3 chemos (totally stinks) but at least I know it worked!
