only 1/3 of Taxol left!!

So today is an important landmark... It is my 8th dose of Taxol. That means I am two thirds of the way done.. The doctor today hoped that since my neuropathy symptoms are not too bad we can finish 12 sessions.. so keep your fingers crossed.

Right now I am hooked up to the taxol, about 15 minutes to go. I got a cold (well, Ada got it first and shared it with me :) ) since Tuesday.. no fever, but stuffy/runny nose.. So even though usually I feel much better on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, this week I was quite tired on those days also. The peripheral neuropathy was noticeable on Sunday, but it doesn't last long, a few minutes of numbness on my fingertips, or toes and then goes away.. I don't think I wrote earlier, for the last month or so my thumb and index finger that have been numb after the mastectomy, healed, they are not numb any more.. I don't know what it was... I did do a little of the exercises that the physical therapist suggested, but more than that I think that it was time that helped with the healing..

This week my dad is the lucky one to accompany me to the cancer center. The girls are at school/daycare. Tomorrow is Deniz's last day at school. And then the summer starts for them also, I better arrange those swimming lessons I was talking about.

Hope y'all are doing well.. more updates and maybe even pictures later this weekend.

Keep smiling,
