Chemo # 5

Tomorrow morning, (Monday), is Chemo #5. New chemo: Taxol with steriod chasers! Or is that steriods with chemo for the chaser? Whichever, it is the start of something new and also the start of the second half of my chemo. After this only three more to go. I can't even begin to tell you how much I am looking forward to the end of chemo!

My daughter is going with me. I know it is going to be a very long rather boring day for her as it would be for most 19 year olds. We have to be there by 10:00 a.m. for labs, (which means leave here by 8:00 a.m.), 11:00 for the doctor appointment and noon for the chemo. I was told this chemo takes even longer that the A/C.

I feel bad for my daughter, money is so tight around here there isn't even enough for me to give her to buy pop or food or anything tomorrow to get through the day. And she is in the same boat right now with all the hassels going on in trying to buy a car. (Nope, we still haven't been able to solve that dilema.) So, tomorrow will be a very long day in many ways.

It is going to be a wonderful thing to get on the other side of all this! Course, in January I get to have my teeth pulled, so there is still a long road ahead. I saw the oral surgeron this last Wednesday and he explained all that needs to be done and what fun I will have afterwards for a while. I know it isn't going to be the best time of my life, but at least I won't be going through chemo at the same time, so that is a relief!

I feel like I am rambling here. Sorry about that. I am really tired tonight. If I wait a little while the steriods that I took already might kick in, but then I could be in a world of trouble and no sleep before I need to take the next batch. And that doesn't sound like a good plan to me. So, I'm off to bed.
