in Breast Cancer #1

​Had to use soap to get my ring off last night and my socks are leaving dents in my legs from the swelling. I called oncologist this morning, regarding being puffy before even starting my dexamethasone, and getting short of breath just bending over to tie my shoes. Dr is out of the office, PA is OK with that. Went in and got my lab drawn, just checked it online and everything is within an acceptable range for tomorrow's chemo, #4, last one. Plan is to decrease dose by 20% for this last one, since each chemo tends to have more SE's, hoping that will make it equivalent to or easier than #3.

    Today

    So if I read it right today is the last chemo?....that's just great...  :)   Sorry for the swelling of everything....I'm getting that a lot now but I do think it is my heart this time and not the chemo causing it.

    You girls use all the abbreviations and I have to look them up but promptly forget what they mean... Thank God for Google...   prayers.....

    I rang the bell

    Chemo #4 went well today, no reactions. I got the benadryl and Lew slept in his chair. 2 of my friends joined us at the end of the day to celebrate my ringing the bell for the last chemo. Time for some healing, then on to radiation. Picture posted in Expressions Gallery.
