THIS ONE IS A MUTHA

Had my chemo treatment 12/5 last Wednesday. I got my new drugs TAXOTERE and AVISTAN. Man I think if this stuff had side effects, I got em all. It kicked my butt, had me down pretty much until today. It causes muscle, joint aches - had that pretty bad. Nausea/vomiting- had that, but got some drugs for it. Dry mouth, nothing taste like anything or you throw it up.

I'm telling ya the muscle aches and the stomach problems, pain you wouldn't believe. But it's tapering off. Now I have to look forward to the other side effects (7-10 day out stuff). Low WBC, hair loss (do da),Fluid retention, I'm bloated, skin rash, got that, fatigue, weakness, lack of energy, got all that, numbness, got that, difficulty with motor skills, yep I'm about goofy.

Well I go back on the 12th for another treatment. He split em up, because I can't take the GEZMAR and the TAXOTERE together. It would be like Katrina and Rita mixed together.

Well ok, will post again after the treatment and lab results.

WE LOVE YA'LL / GOD BLESS YA'LL

We already know you’re going to beat this Randy and we certainly will include relief from these side effects in our prayers.
