If weather cooperates I start new chemo

[HVAC]

I start my sixth chemo Avastin/taxol. The one I am on Gemzar has done nothing. Cancer has spread fast. I just hope the hospital does not shut down due to weather. I had to have two emergency CT scans in both two weeks apart they showed significant growth. I do not want to wait two weeks with out chemo. This will be a rough chemo. I will be on it until it no longer works. I also have partially collapsed lungs.

It was icy but we made it to Duke in back in my Subaru. We had to knock ice out of the wheel wells whenever we stopped. The nurses were super nice. The bureaucracy at Duke is tough but the staff are super. Besides my idiot research nurse I have never met anyone who was not nice. She is gone. They ether promoted her away from patients or she moved on. They had free breakfast and parking due to the weather. The chemo will not hit me for three days. It may not be as bad since it is a lower dose once a week. I will lose my hair again and have nose bleeds all the time. Oh and permanent neuropathy in hands and feet. I have escaped that so far.

I don't know if I should cheer or jeer! I am so glad you made it for your treatment. Continuing to keep my fingers & toes crossed that the side effects are far less than expected.

Prayers and gentle hugs, brave Alex.

This chemo does indeed sound brutal and hopefully Mother Nature cooperates.

Thinking good thoughts for you,
