Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that today marks the fourth treatment out of twelve. The first treaments came and went with little difficulty. Minus the occasional numbness of the foot and her not sleeping well at night, she was doing great.
Last week was her first side effect of the chemo treatment. They had to stop the infusion of Taxotere and had to administer a saline solution and then benedryl. Kimmy said "After my friend experienced her reaction I thought 'Would I know what to look for if I started to have a reaction?' and then started feeling very hot and my skin around my face started tightening up". Yep, that will do it! Along with that, the treatment went longer because once they started the chemo infusion again, they had to do it at a slower pace.
So, this week let's hope she doesn't have another reaction and she's done a little sooner. Her treatment just started... I'm praying everything goes smooth and with my mom there, I'm sure she will make sure everything DOES go smooth. :)
BIG HUGS to Kimmy!
Hope everyone has a great Thursday and rest of the week,
Erika
