This week's been a doozer. Monday began prep (all clear fluids for the day) for Tuesday's colonoscopy. I'd had one in 2001 and this was my 7-year follow-up. All was clear with reports to that effect sent to my oncology surgeon and my primary care nurse practioner. Nice to confirm a necessary body part is AOK!
Yesterday had Taxol 4C, the last in my 4th series of 3 weeks on and one off. Nurse Ellen was my caregiver and all went ok. Port worked well, and I was out of the parking garage and into rainy Baltimore rush hour traffic by 4:40 p.m.
Stopped at BJs on the way back and got gas for $1.45 and lamented I only needed 6 gallons. Also picked up some staples as I'm always jazzed after chemo because of all the anti-nausea meds (steroids) that precede the chemo. Even with all the stuff in a rolling cart, the neuropathy (numbness) of my feet bothers me walking up and down aisles. Was glad to put my feet up when I finally got home.
Next week is my "bye" week. I only have acupuncture (relaxful pin-sticking to help my immune system) scheduled and a local blood draw which sends the lab results to Weinberg. And our office Christmas party catered by the Saucy Salamander, which offers some of the best food in Annapolis including my favorite sandwich, Hearts and Sprouts.
