2 weeks post 3rd FEC - all good!

Hi fellow pink ladies,

It's been a long time - won't bore you with the details!!

Well I'm now half way through chemo, Fec is all done and wow I do really think I have been lucky as far as side-effects go. Yes the hair loss is well and truly complete (pleased the tender head was short lived) and I am definitely slowing down a little more after each treatment, but have had no nausea/ vomiting and manageable back/bone pain after dose 1(when I had the extra neupogen injections).

In fact it appears that chemo might have even fixed my bone marrow - my neutrophil levels have returned to 1.9 and 2.2 after the last 2 doses with only the 1 neulasta injection each time. Big jump from 0.1!!

This next week will be interesting for me. I'm back to feeling good so had a full day at work yesterday, am spending lots of time spoling my granddaughter, Kadison, and am walking lots in the lovely spring weather yet I'm also a little apprehensive about the change to Taxotere, i.e. the unknown again next Thursday so aren't sleeping very well!!

So any thoughts, suggestions, ideas would be gratefully accepted.

I hope you are all travelling as well or better than can be and experiencing some positives in there.

Take care one and all, Dette xxoo
