Last Treatment Side Effects

Well, the effects of my last treatment wasn't what I was hoping it to be.  I did not have the aches and pains like in the past, however, I did get sick.  I have a respiratory infection.  I had a faint cough on Thursday and then it just got worse and worse.  I started taking antibiotics on Sunday, so I am hoping to be well by Thanksgiving.

The Neulasta shot was definitely the culprit for the aches and pains.  That is one nasty drug!  I'm hoping these antibiotics will work and when I have my blood drawn on Wednesday, my counts will be high enough to not get the shot.

Surgery is still up in the air as to when it will happen.  The breast surgeon and the plastic surgeon have to be coordinated and that was not done when Dec. 11th was chosen.  I should know tomorrow when they are both available.  I'm hoping it will be still be in December but it could be January.  I will let you know when I know.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and savory the company of your family and friends this holiday season!  I am so very thankful for the love and support me and my family have received during this difficult season of our lives.  I am overwhelmed by the giving hearts of all of you.  My love goes out to each and everyone of you!
