No shot this time : )

Had another slightly snowy trip to Fargo yesterday for my second Taxol treatment. The good news is that my white blood counts were sky high so I don't have to get the nasty Neulasta shot this time - yay! I've been feeling a lot better so far than on the AC, and have even felt my normal energy level returning at times. Of course, I still have to remember that it isn't all day energy, as I have been tending to expect it to last and it doesn't. But it sure is good to be feeling fairly normal again, even if it is for half the day. I've also been going through my first menopause. I say first because in all likelihood it won't be permanent, but I get to have hot flashes and all that fun. Actually, hot flashes when it's subzero weather and you are 90% bald aren't such a big deal - I take off my hat for a few minutes and the problem is solved. It has been more of a pain at night, when I'm kicking off the covers, then wanting them back, then kicking them off, then pulling them back...At any rate, I'm sure glad it's January and not July! The other good news is that my fingernails are returning to normal. It's nice to be able to pull up my socks without pain. Hope everyone else is having a good week - enjoy the snow, as it sounds like most everyone will be getting some!
