Tamoxofin

hi gang, just thought I would update.  Had first taxotare chemo yesterday.  after a sleepless night the night before I slept in ina hospital bed in between blood test and having my picc line dressing changed.  So far my side effects have been just the usual after chemo, nothing different.  had the gel gloves on while having the chemo.  I have put on the nail polish ad am running in the sorbeline so hope that will help.

So girls, so far so good.  will find out tomorrow when I am off the dex.  I forgot to say that I had 2 sleepers last night so that I could at least catch up on my sleep.  I have been sleeping most of today so far.  I have been eating ok.  had brekky and my appetite seems ok so far.  Very very thirsty and one of the things I was told early on my the chemo is to ask them to infuse extra saline after they flushed through the chemo.  so I did that yesterday and I had another bag of saline which helps with the dehydration immediately after.  Just takes the extra 1 hour for it to drip through.  I am too tired to do anything expect press the button on my robot vacuum cleaner.  My family bought it for me 5 years ago and it is the best household gadget I have and guess what it really works.

Ok, will leave it here.  thanks for your interest.  will wait to hear about your experiences ann and mich and hopefully will report again tomorrrow.
