Half way point - CT scan

So last Thursday was my last Taxol. I finished 12 weeks, can you believe it? My blood values were just above the threshold, so I could still get it. This weekend hit me harder than usual. I actually got a nagging heartburn/nausea that made me not want to eat anything for a few days. I feel lucky that of 12 weeks of chemo it has been only one where I actually felt bad.

My pink eye got worse last week. The oncologist I saw on Thursday prescribed an antibiotic eye drop, but by the Thursday evening it had gotten better (without drops), and Friday it was almost gone and on Saturday it seemed even better. Then on Sunday it started getting pink again, and it has been been pink yesterday and today. Yesterday I started using the antibiotic drop, we'll see if it will help. But I really think it is allergies and the steroids/other drugs that they give me on Thursday suppress it for a few days and it comes back again.

This morning I had a CT scan of the chest. It is a planned scan but still it makes me nervous, so any prayers/positive thoughts my way are greatly appreciated. Today we are going to have Ada's birthday party, so I welcome the distraction.

This weekend we'll try to squeeze in a family vacation before starting FEC next week. It will be nice to be together and travel..

Cheers,
