A Little Embarrassing

Hi @Sister wow what a great memory, yes I have about 4-5 weeks left of taxol should finish end of August, the first one went well, the next few I had a reaction so the oncologist worked out to pump me up on steroids a day before and on the day plus the stronger premeds before the taxol, no more reactions but I don't sleep from the day I take the first steroid till 2-3 days after taxol and by the time I get some sleep it starts again :-),and not to mention the extra weight and swelling of the face because of steroids ah the joy, the good news the lymph nodes in the arm pit have shrunk a little, but I do have lymphoedema in my right arm which the doctors are a little surprised with, I haven't had surgery yet and that's not supposed to happen for a few years later, I started physio last week, they gave me a sleeve and glove to wear, its not doing much just making my arm and hand bigger, being in the public system is frustrating everything takes for ever, I was hoping they can move the fluids out of my arm but they want to try the compression garment first I guess, I still eat heathy and well and go for at least hourly works every day, my hair is growing back on my head and face but downstairs is sill slow, I can't wait for surgery as i'm going through all this and still have the cancer in me and when they were doing more ultra sounds and ex rays to find a possible cause for the swelling of the arm they found a couple more infected lymph nodes in the chest area and faulty porta cath which they replaced very quick before serious damage was done, other than that all good,
sorry for the long rant, this is day two with zero sleep hehehe, Sister I hope your well you are truly an incredible person
