June 8 Final Update

It’s been a down day today and I’m feeling tired tonight. This is in spite of a two hour nap this morning. If I don’t move, I feel pretty good. But any movement rather wipes me out.

The chemo has really hammered my feet. They’re pretty numb and tingly and walking isn’t fun.

My taste buds are making a very slow recovery. I was able to eat soup for lunch instead of that Boost. Tonight I had some boiled potatoes, asparagus, beef and gravy. I had some ice cream for desert. It didn’t go down too badly. Surprisingly sweet things don’t necessarily do well for me. I can’t drink my Snapple Tea at the moment.

I just remembered that Monday is another treatment. It’s sort of a half treatment. Last Monday I got Taxotere and Gemzar. This time it will only be Gemzar. I may also get a Neulasta shot. I it will depend on my white cell count. I wonder if an extra high white cell count can help battle cancer.

I’m off to bed.
