I can tell I am getting more nervous about the next treatment as it gets closer. #2 was so bad and the memories of being sick are still too fresh in my mind. I have heard from many women in my online support group that the best med out there for nausea is called Emend so I called and asked for it. I heard back from the nurse that he is planning to give it to me so that makes me feel a little better. I am also glad that I only have 2 more treatments of AC because from everything that I have read the last 4 treatments of Taxol should not make me as sick. It sounds like I will continue to feel even more fatigue and find it harder to bounce back but not as many people get sick with the taxol...something to look forward to!
Our Thanksgiving was nice. We had a nice dinner and took the kids to Gameworks. Since I have been having so much trouble sleeping I actually went out shopping at 3:30 on Friday...I had been awake since a little after 2 so I decided I might as well....it was snowing that morning so it definetely felt like Christmas. The wigs are still uncomfortable but I did get the nerve to go out with just a scarf on a couple times this weekend. I hate the way I look but it is so much more comfortable. Since I was looking for bargains I didn't pay much attention to the people around me so I don't know how they were looking at me....hopefully I will get more comfortable over time going out with a hat or a scarf.
Please say a prayer for us that this treatment goes better....it really is hard on the whole family when I am sick. Love to All!

Sounds like you could use a laugh so I will tell you my favorite joke. Stop me if you've heard this one.
A grasshopper walks into a bar. The bartender says "Hey! We have a drink named after you!" The grasshopper says "You have a drink named Phil?"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That always makes me giggle. Hope it did you. Take care and good luck with #3. You're almost half way done!

You know we are all thinking nothing but good thoughts for you to get through this!
Love you,
Kay
P.S. Good one Libby!
HI Jan, I'm so hopeful the new drug will help you not be so sick.... No wonder you're a little antsy about your next treatment tomorrow. Who wouldn't be..... The sleep schedule has to be so frustrating for you! But in true Jan fashion - you made the best out of that situation and hit the shops! I say that's OK!!! How many other crazy people were out there at that hour!? Hope you got some good deals. No snow here yet - but I'm ready! Well, you know I'm thinking of you - and without a doubt PRAYING for you all! I love you. Sue
I'm glad to hear that the last 4 treatments won't make you as sick. And I pray the new medicine will make the next 2 more bareable!
I can't believe you went shopping in the middle of the night - but I'm not really surprised! You would always hit the Walmart here at the crack of dawn (or earlier) to avoid the crowds! :) I haven't even started shopping yet, so you are ahead of me!
Ok, here's a corny joke for you:
How do you get a kleenex to dance? Put a little boogey in it. :)
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and praying!
Take care! Linda
I'm so glad you got the nerve up to go out with just a scarf....people won't be staring because they're sad, they'll be staring because they want your scarf:) Goodluck with your next treatment - I'll be thinking about you....you are 1/2 way there....
Love Ya
I hope that medicine makes it more bearable.
I have done the Wal-mart thing at the crack of dawn once and thought of you. :)
Here is to the half way point!
Hugs to you and the family.

PRAYING FOR YOU CONSTANTLY TO GET THROUGH TODAY AND THE NEXT FEW!!
LOVE YA,
