I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I believe everything happens for a reason and that the significant things have lessons for us. So At the suggestion of one of my clients. I decided to chronicle my journey. I am no writer, it is raw, it is in the moment. I hope that this blog besides being therapeutic for me is somehow helpful for those who decide to join my journey...

Medicated...
Finally gotten the pain under control...But totally medication... now it is 4:30 in the morning... I am hoping to get to sleep again...I am so tired of all this...
I understand and feel so bad for all the pain you are experiencing. I am confused and not sure why you have had so much pain. Maybe I need to start at the beginning...although I have read almost all of your posts. Yes, it's tiring, and scary, and out of our control. I am calling this the summer that wasn't. I hope you get some much needed sleep and don't feel the pain anymore. I wish you didn't have to work, I am sooooooooooo thankful that I don't.
Apparently I am getting all the uncommon side effects. They are talking about changing my chemo to a different type of taxol (apparently there are 4) at least one of which would extend out my treatments! I should find out by Thursday at my oncology appointment. This was supposed to be the easy one!
That was UN fair...and the short answer. I am upset... I am supposed to have only 2 more treatments. But I am not tolerating the taxol as I should so looking at what is going on they will choose another path...but unless they give me an extraordinarily good reason I won't be doing 4 MORE! Hugs
