Here We Go Again
Tomorrow brings treatment #6. I am not dreading it in the same way that I dreaded the AC, but I am definitely not looking forward to it. The fact that I have felt great for the past couple of days makes it even harder to contemplate the upcoming weekend. I have been warned that the Taxol effects are cumulative for some women, and that makes it even worse.
I have packed a movie to watch and I’m taking some books to read, but no homework this time. I’m hoping that the time goes quickly both tomorrow and for the next few days. And this time I have promised myself that I will take stronger pain medication if I need it rather than just suffering through like I’m some kind of pioneer woman.

Wow!! You're going to be 3/4 of the way finished!!
Not much longer and this part will seem like a distant memory. :o)

What Jenster said!!
Just look how far you've come, Kim. What courage! What stamina!! You're amazing.
So glad you don't have to take homework with you tomorrow, and that you're comfortable with taking the Big Gun pain meds if you need to. You don't need to "be a hero", because in our eyes, you already are.
I'll be thinking of you...

If we're going to believe in better living through chemistry, shouldn't we include pain meds?
Thinking of you often through your process.

I hope you find yourself on the mend even sooner this time; you are healing yourself through all this, each treatment at a time. (Hugs)
