Good appointment this morning. Cytoxin isn't as harsh as the Adriamiacin I was on in the beginning, so my blood counts recovered quickly and didn't get too low. So for the next four weeks, I've been given the go-ahead to take a little vacation and not worry so much about the germ factor. Yea!
After four weeks I start a new course of drugs: Taxol and Herceptin. It will take 5 hours to administer those!!
I'm still doing well. The doctors are amazed at how little the side effects are hitting me. With this drug I get woozy in the head for a while and my fingernails are striped white and dark and I get a bit constipated, but that's pretty much it. All very manageable.
I had my 6 week obgyn check up yesterday, and my c-section incision is healing great!
It's soooo nice to be feeling better from childbirth and being pregnant. I feel like my body is almost mine again! I don't even mind getting up in the middle of the night to feed Tolan. He's so sweet.
Thanks Aubree for watching Tolan this morning! I'm sure going to miss you when you go off to college!
