Feeling Better

It's been 2 days since the treatment, and I feel so much better. It's amazing what the benedryl does to me. Thankfully the rest of the treatments won't be quite like this one is, so I won't feel so drained of energy. And I'm still extremely thankful that I've had no nausea. That is such a blessing.

I'm still waiting to hear back on when my surgery will be. Once that happens, it'll be easy sailing from now on.

Chemo, Version 2

Today was a rough day. I had my first Taxol/Herceptin treatment today, and it was very long. Very Long. They started the anti-nausea pills and other things first, then the Taxol, then the Herceptin. I got there at 10:30 a.m. and left at 4:00 p.m.! Almost 6 hours. I didn't realize it was going to be that long. I slept for a good part of it - they gave me some benedryl, so that knocked me out for a bit. And when it was over, I came home. I have no energy today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better with my energy level.
