Taxol

Well yesterday was Chemo #5 and my first Taxol treatment. I have one observation...I do not do well on that much Benadryl! They give you a bag of benadryl dripped into your system before they start the Taxol to help alleviate any weird allergic reactions. But that much Benadryl made me feel like I had just consumed a half bottle of tequila. I seriously almost fell over trying to stand up! So that combined with 3 hours of weird meds being dripped into your body made for a long, tiring day. I also learned I shouldn't be allowed to cook dinner after Taxol treatments. I tried to cook three simple things for dinner rice, green beans, chicken tenders...and ruined all of them. Kyle and I ate the chicken but it wasn't very good at all. So from now on no cooking after these meds! So far mytaste buds have gone wacky again and I have had a little bit of numbness coming & going in my hands but no bone aches yet so that's good.

Now if only I can get some sleep tonight since they make you take 10 steroid pills in 12 hours before this type of chemo I was WIDE awake last night and I am paying for it today.
