Did you know.....

Everyone knows chemo causes your hair to fall out but did you know the Taxol I'm on now can cause you to loose your finger and toe nails too?  The Dr told me to take vitamin B6 to help with the burning I was feeling on my nails.  She also prescribed pain meds for next time for the bone, muscle, joint pain.  Not looking forward to my next treatment Monday.  Chemo can take your hair, nails, boobs, who knows what else?  But it can't take your spirit. Time to let that little light shine.  

Bad Side Effects!

I didn't like the new side effects.  I don't do pain well.  Wednesday after my last treatment I woke up and it felt like my finger and toe nails were on fire at 5 a.m.  So I put ice on my fingers and toes then came the bone pain.  I think it was more than bone pain everything below my belly button was in pain. By Thursday night I could hardly walk.  Thank God it only lasted two days but Sunday I had some pain in my lower back.  The rash came after the pain along with a fever and the chills. I've also had some numbness on my right foot.  On the bright side I have had three great days starting on Brock's Birthday.  We were able to go to Pat's cousin's Wedding in Aberdeen and enjoy family.  The scary thing about pain is you think it is never going to go away.  People have been so helpfull.  I am very thankful for the meals, cleaning, cards, help with kids and people putting up with me whinning about my pain.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
