hello everyone!

i just had my 6th taxol yesterday. i'm happy to say, that side effects for me have been very minimal. i hope it keeps on going this way. still have 6 more to go! finally felling like myself again now that the A/C is completely out of my system (haven't taken colace in 3 weeks!! lol)

my hair is stubbly, food tastes fine, bowels are flowing and i have all my finger/toe nails! life is good!

i've been posting on facebook a lot. we have a group on there as well. so if anyone is on facebook send a friend request to me and i'll add you! (carrie sue smurkowski)

Happy Holidays!!!

*hugs*

    good to hear from you again and glad you are getting through Taxol without many se. I finished chemo Tuesday and didn't suffer much either. This weekend though my joints ache and legs are rubbery from the Neulasta shot. Will keep you in my thoughts as your journey continues.

    Carrie Soup .. I've been thinking about you - recently - just
    love your photo - which describes an artistic women, who knows what she wants. Just my interpetion.

    I thank all the angels out there when I hear that 1 of my WARRIOR - Sisters in PINK is tolerating chemo therapy well. So many of us that have walked this path of chemo therapy, surgery and/or radiaitons - ... and have no energy to live ful filling lives for a while. I am hap hap happy that you are doing well.

    Happy Holidays ... and Life
