After re-reading my last post I can tell that I was operating on "chemo-brain". There was at least one statement that didn't make sense. This too shall pass and I shall try to do a better job of thinking and typing. It has been a mostly uneventful last few days. I was still taking Tylenol for chills and fever on Thursday but could go longer between doses before the chills kicked in. Nights were broken up by changing wet t-shirts and taking more Tylenol. Friday I went most of the day without Tylenol, one dose about 3:30 in the afternoon for fever. Friday night I just went to bed without taking my temp or taking Tylenol. More wet t-shirts to change during the night. I haven't taken any Tylenol since that last dose. I think I can feel some slight fluctuations in my temperature but have decided just to ignore it. I am feeling stronger and am getting my equilibrium back. I am wearing shorts and t-shirts again rather than jeans and long-sleeve shirts (for the chills) so that is a good sign. I am enjoying meals more. My hands and arms had some pealing skin issues due to the taxotere...a common side effect. That is better as well.
Nights still find me waking up a couple of times with a damp t-shirt so I'm still not sure what that is about. And let's not forget the tornado sirens at 11:00 Saturday evening. Those always help lower the stress level from a taxing day. :) I am so glad the really severe weather passed us by once again. Wednesday is my 6th treatment day and I'm not sure what that will bring, but I really hope it is not taxotere. I'm off for a little longe walk this morning to build up some stamina for the next round.
Don't forget to add some extra movement to your own routine.
