Chemo 4 went well on Friday on my new chemo drug Docetaxel, so far I've been really good compared to FEC the last 3 chemos. So far I have no taste whatsoever, can't even taste pineapple this time, can't taste salt & vinegar crisps. Hope this doesn't last long because I'm ravenous and eating like a horse!
I have very bad dry skin , especially on my face and in my ears, still moisturising with Aqueous cream 4 times a day. I have a few aches and pains but nothing too bad yet. So managed a nice weekend so far, had friends round all weekend.
I finished my steroids last night and start my G-CSF injections today for 5 days, the ones that build my white blood cells back up. So 2 injections a day a again grrr. I've still managed to keep a tiny bit of my eyebrows and the top lid of my eyelashes, nurse told me I've done well to hang on to them.
I've got my Mom and niece coming to stay for the week again which is fabulous, fingers crossed we might get out a few days this week, I've booked some time of work. There's a new pub in town I want to try and wouldn't mind a little shopping trip.
Hope you're all having a lovely long bank holiday weekend xxx
