Just wanted to update you all since my treatment last week. Once again right after the treatment I came down with a terrible head cold. I was in bed all weekend with a bad headache, sinus pain and all stuffed up. Because my head hurt so bad I didn't have an appetite which made me nauseous, etc, etc. Spent most of the night (and day) in the recliner (I did notice that sleeping in the recliner prevents bed head so that's a good thing!). Feeling better today but tired from not getting a good rest. My best guess is that the chemo drops my resistance way down and I'm more susceptible to germs and viruses. This is the second month this has happened so we will see what happens after then next treatment. Thankfully Mark was around and helped me get through this.
As bad as I felt this weekend if this chemo is working I could go through things that are 100 time worse. Hopefully we will have good results after my CT Scan on March 20.
This new trial chemo I am on is called Hercepton DM-1 (I'd like to think the "DM" was named after me). I did some research on it and what I read seems positive. All I (we) could do is keep on moving forward and hope for the best!
Until I have more news I'll have my Dancin' slippers on for a few more days!
