They told me that most of the time once chemo stops so does the neuropathy, but staying on top of it is the best route.

4 more rounds to go!

It's not severe, it just feels like the tips of my fingers are just slightly starting to go to sleep. No pain/tingling, and I still have full sensation. Hopefully the ice packs will help (it's supposed to work the same way the cold cap is), but I'm going to send oncology a message just in case.

I've started to develop a little neuropathy in my fingertips (a side effect they warned me about), so today I used the cold packs for my hands and feet (and stayed awake to put them on once the Taxol started!). I had to take a short break here and there, but I kept them on for the entire hour!

I mean I get why he didn't but still. It irritates me to an irrational degree 😂

The whole time that damn lion was whining about "Elphaba took me from my home and put me somewhere else!" Fyiero/Scarecrow could have jumped in AT ANY POINT and said "shut your scared ass up, she saved you and I was there and helped!"

I see mine every other Thursday. Proud of you ❤️

Next week we'll reach the halfway mark of this leg of the journey. While I was back in the infusion room today, someone got to ring the bell out in the waiting room because they were done. Only 7 more weeks until I get to do that!

I was at the hospital today from 7:45 until about 3:30. I had to run to the store for a few last-minute turkey day things afterwards, so I opted to just use a hat rather than try to do anything with my hair post-cold cap. I honestly don't hate the look!

Echo had no changes and labs were okay - white count holding around 8-9, but hemoglobin and hematocrit are starting to drop off the normal range. The fatigue is starting to get real - I napped off and on through most of today's treatment (we were closed today so no work laptop).

....and then yell at the TV "YOUR PARENTS DRIVE A HUGE ASS LINCOLN, YOU DON'T NEED MONEY!"

Triple positive breast cancer - it sucks on SO many more levels than meets the eye!
🤦🏼‍♀️😭🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

I can expect hair fall to start in earnest now (hopefully the cold capping will keep it to a minimum) and for side effects to start compounding. Have my 2nd echo next week to check in on my heart post-herceptin. Gonna do everything I can to keep feeling good for as long as possible!
