End of First Week of Gemzar Abraxane - Saturday

    Well. life is full of new and "exciting" adventures with side effects.  At least for me.  I am sure many other people have already felt the same side effects and have taken the same meds to counteract the pain.
So, for at  least the last 3 days, I have had much more painful neuropathy than ever before.  I was told I would surely get it.  But, having legs and feet that hurt is not my idea of comfort.
    However, all you have to do is call the doc and you get prescriptions to counter the side effects...more drugs, but, hey, relief anyway.  So, the phrase that says "the chemo will kill you before the cancer" does have some weight to it maybe.
    Anyway, I took 2 Gabapentin pills last night and it still didn't "kill" the whole painful, leg thing, so I took Tylenol later and that did it...right to sleep and when I woke up I was doped up and no pain:)  Good feeling when you want to go back to sleep.
    Today, I am supposed to take a steroid for 5 days called  Dexamethasone.   That will be the next adventure.
    Meanwhile, not sure about driving but feeling much better otherwise as far as the "chemo funk" and weakness go. 
    As far as this "blog" is concerned, this is my way of keeping a record of my living through side effects and cancer!  For sure, if I didn't write it, I couldn't remember it😉
    Today is a NEW DAY to be lived in good health as we continue the adventure of living and breathing and seeking God in everything!
