Yay
Yay.. your last chemo!!! I'm so excited for you and I can't wait till it's my turn to say that I hope and pray that you don't have any side effects this time.

Your day will come
when you will be on your last treatment, too!!!
For mouth sores (which I haven't gotten, but my gums and inside of my cheeks were very raw) it was suggested to mix 1 tsp each of baking soda & salt in about 16 oz of water (some people say 32 oz but I used less water) and switch with this mixture several times a day. I mix it up and leave it in the bathroom and use it everytime I "visit" (which is very often because I drink about 80-100 oz of water a day). I start this before chemo and continue for at least 2 weeks. My onc also suggested taking a small amount of baking soda on the tongue and drinking water each night to change my acidity, however I don't seem to remember this as easily as swishing with my homemade mouthwash.
I look forward to the day I can congratulate you on your last treatment!!
Hope you feel better soon.
Hugs,
JoAnn

Hey there TexasGirl
Your doing way better than I did.
Keep your chin up and listen too your body, when you feel tired rest and give into your cravings of ice from sonic: )
Take care sweetie...Karie

I hope
you feel better soon. I was ok a couple of days after chemo but by Friday the Neulasta shot took it's toll and I slept most weekends. Fortunately I didn't have to work but my sister did. You have 2 done and how many to go. Think of it that way. Be over soon......

I'm crying
Oh Dot, Your post is so sweet that I'm actually crying right now. I do feel better right this morning. I haven't had any cramps in my legs or feet, but I do get them in my ribs. It's not fun!!! I had one in the grocery store checkout line the other day, boy let me tell you that was an experience lol. I'm sure that wasn't funny at the time getting lost in your front yard but at least you can laugh about it now. That honestly sounds like something I would do
I agree with you that this chemo stuff is not fun, but I do know it could be a lot worse and I walk with God everyday and try to keep a positive attitude about the whole thing. I just don't know any other way to handle this.

Where in Texas are you from? One of our other sisters, Boppy of 3 and I live not too far from each other and we have formed a wonderful friendship. It would be wonderful if you were close enough by that we could all meet.

Hugs back to you and God Bless,

Dawne

Hi Honey, I hope it's been a good day for you and most of all I hope you will get a good nights sleep tonight, During my treatment I couldn't sleep either and then about the third day my body would just almost shut down for lack of sleep. I received a message from Boppy, I responded back I hope she got it for some reason it seems to take along time to send a message on this Forum.I think Boppy told me she lived around the Gatesville area, we live in Killeen we are retired military so we are all three pretty close to each other. I'm happy honey that you walk with God every day,so do I. Isn't he wonderful and isn't it wonderful knowing him? When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer I actually worried for a couple of weeks about it then it dawned on me that it was just to big for me to handle and once I realized that, I owned it, I claimed it, and I turned it over to God and I have been o.k. ever since, as sick as I was I never one time became depressed because you see I knew I would come out with the Victory and I did. Last Friday the 29th was my last treatment and my Onocoligist at Scott&White (Dr. Hadlock) told me I was "Cancer Free", how wonderful to start a New Year like that.Now you continue to stay positive and know that God and his angels are always there with you, you know after all he is the great physician. And if you should need any thing and I can help, please let me know. Oh Goodness.....I almost forgot to tell you, for mouth sores I used the stuff that we put on babies gums when they are teething, it's a gel called Num Zit Gel and their is another one called Orasol Gel.

Love you.
Dot

Some good days some bad.
Some good days some bad. Hang in there. If I remember your on AC right now. Sometimes it does effect our sleep and then you wake up feeling like crap,and then the whole day goes bad. Take it as easy as you can.

I really hope that you start
I really hope that you start having some good days!

The 5th day was my worst
I have my T-C treatments on Friday with a neulasta shot on Sunday and find that Tuesday is my worst day. I usually struggle to work on Monday and then have to stay home on Tuesday in bed.
I didn't start to feel better until day 8 to 10 which increased with each treatment.
I go in for my last chemo on Friday. Finally!
Hugs
JoAnn

Hoping that soon you will
