I am proud to say that I am, and have been pretty much since the administration of this new toxic stuff, a fully functioning individual.
No sitting around in PJ's for me. No feeling spaced out. No getting out of the washing up. Just a pretty normal weekend (obviously helped out by several strategic power-naps).
My lower back achy-ness still rears it's head every-so-often. I have been told that bone and joint aches are part and parcel of this drug treatment and I have some strong Ibuprofen to take (they don't really do much that I can tell just yet). But the achy-ness can be at most described as a low-level ache and niggly pain.
So, in again tomorrow to "fast-track" back onto a Tuesday cycle hopefully. I best get popping some steroids then.
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
one happy family of 4 (Daddy is taking the picture)
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...
