Round #4 of chemo is done. This was my last round of AC (Adriamycin and Cytoxan), my next 4 rounds will be of Taxol which I am told is less harsh. I'm feeling pretty good today. Yesterday after chemo I spend the day dozing in front of the tv and finally just went to bed around 7:30pm. My nausea to has been pretty good. I took my morning dose of Zofran and Decadron and have not needed to take anything since then which is really good... I normally have to take a dose of Compazine around noon.
Random Thoughts:
DON'T offer unsolicited advise if you have never gone though cancer or treatments or are not close to someone who has. Chances are anything you have read on the internet/heard on the radio/seen on television I have read/heard/seen as well.
DO feel free to talk to me and ask me questions. I am willing to answer any questions you have about how I discovered my tumor or the treatment or side effects or really anything. Don't feel weird about it.
My skin on my face has changed during treatment. It's less oily - my skin normally is really oily and now I don't find myself blotting my face every time I go into the restroom and look in the mirror. I ain't complaining about that! It also feels smoother.
AGE SPOTS!!!! FTW!!!! I have noticed some "age spots" popping up on my face. I pointed them out to my mom and she said I need to wear sunscreen, well as a pasty white girl I put sunscreen on my face everyday (and have been for years) and my face primer and foundation also have sunscreen in them so I don't think that is the issue... it's gotta be the chemo.
Oh boy do I feel you on unsolicited advise! Obviously different topic, but grrr!!! Glad you're feeling relatively well. HUGS
