Well, I am still doing OK, slightly sleepier today.
Yesterday was fine but was whacked by the time it came to bed-time (because the steroids can cause insomnia I have been trying my best not to kip during the daytime and it seems to have worked all through so far).
I even went out for a spot of fresh air and a drive in the evening with James yesterday which is totally unheard of on the day after chemo for me (still anticipating a forthcoming drop though).
I have less steroids and pills to take with this chemo because it is not suppose to be so sickness-inducing. I think I have worked out that the steroids give me the funny-mouth taste and desire to snack on crisps and such. So, as I have now finished the steroids for this cycle those cravings seem to be under control.
They didn't re-assess or up my chemo dose in the end as they said it was fluid retention not fat that had made me put on a stone... hmmmm not sure I agree with that.
Back to the telly and blanket now :D
Me, then....
On 7th November 06 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I have set up this site for my friends and family to see how I am getting along with all this surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy stuff.
....and now
...and 7 years on

Burnt-to-a-Crisp Scale
I couldn't go cold turkey from my graphs, so I've devised one to accompany the radiotherapy and record how the "sunburn" goes. The cooking continues for 10-14 days afterwards so I've made the graph nice and long
Poo-o-Meter
Now lets try Taxol..... yellow and black indicates toxic drug days
Pants-o-Gram
So here's how I am feeling on taxotere.
Cack-o-Graph
I have decided to keep a record of how I am feeling over the EC chemo cycles. My score of 10 is the same as my pre-chemo normal energy Dawn day, spot the scientist :)
Not that I am counting, but...
