Well I started round three of chemotherapy today with my first treatment of Taxol. Yesterday, I felt really bad (gastro-intestinal, abdominal pain), as seen by my total lack of activity on the computer (that's always my family's first clue. In the evening I started my pre-meds - dex (dexamethasone - a steroid), and I took a tagamet, for acid reflux. By the time I went to bed I was feeling much more comfortable and was able to get a pretty good nights sleep. So I got up, got ready, took another heavy dose of dex and went in to the infusion center. I got there at about 9:00 am and many of the nurses I've worked with in the past greeted me and told me they were glad to see me - that's nice to see friendly faces. I had the infusion without any problems and I was finished with everything by noon and the hubby came and picked me up. We tossed around the idea of getting something to eat, which I really haven't done much of for about a week, but I was feeling so good that we decided to try Panera. I ate some soup and half of a turkey sandwich and it hasn't caused me any problems so far:) So I'd say my first treatment was a success - yippee!
