1. Two rounds of my AC chemotherapy are done! I know that I still have a long way to go with my therapy, but it is nice to know that after this tomorrow's treatment I only have one left with the "red devil." I am thankful that my reaction to this has been pretty mild, and I'm hoping that it continues when I switch to Taxol. I do have to wait two weeks after my last AC therapy before I can get my first infusion of the next treatment, so I won't start it for another month!
2. My first Taxol treatment is supposed to be the Thursday before Mom Prom weekend. I have been looking forward to this since August!!! I can't decide if I want to push that to Monday so I KNOW I will feel fine for Mom Prom, or if I want to just assume I'll be good to go? If not, I'll camp out in my hotel room and sleep! Ha!
3. I was not excited about not being able to have a "guest" at my last treatment. I prefer having Brian there to make me laugh and to get my snacks. I am hopeful that they will finish the infusion room in February and he will be able to join me for my treatment again! Until then, he is a phone call away to bring me lunch.
4. I have a "lucky chemo outfit." My first few treatments went really well, and I am just superstitious enough to give credit where credit is due: to my wardrobe. Really, my port has to be accessible, I have to stay warm, and I want to be comfortable. My options are limited!
5. Every time I watch the news I am ridiculously panicked about the flu. I have had my shot (the whole family has!), but it's not 100% effective and I am surrounded by little carriers! We stay on top of hand washing and I make sure to take my Vitamin C every day, so hopefully that prevents it!
6. I am already dreading my "chat" with my nurse tomorrow about my feelings. I just want to put on my headphones, little to some podcasts, and crush some candy!
Cross your fingers that tomorrow's treatment goes as well as my last two! <3 <3 <3
