Back from Houston

Well, we're back from Houston! We got into Houston late Wednesday night and had several tests early Wednesday morning. I had an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart), spirometry and DLCO (lung tests). Passed all with flying colors. Chemo went fine! I was glad to see the last drops of that red devil go in! Felt a little nauseous during chemo. Not sure why. I think I was just thinking too hard about how nasty chemo is! I have tried not to think about how toxic it is, just thrilled with how it is working! I felt fine as soon as chemo was over though, just a little shaky in the legs. My blood counts were the lowest they have been so far. Last time I was borderline in getting my chemo (Neutrophil count at 1500) and this time it was actually way to low (1200), but she decided to overwrite it so I could get this last FAC since I am in such good shape at this point during chemo, very healthy and doing so well. We go back in 3 weeks to be rescanned and have my first dose of Taxol. Taxol is better tolorated than FAC, so I am assuming I will fly through it also. We will know in May when we will be doing the stem cell transplant. I was hoping for August/Sept but it may be as soon as July/August. I just hate the thought of missing swim meets, tee ball games and Children's Summer Theater. So, here is hoping we can do it starting in August!! That's all the info from this trip!
