prayers coming your way. I had 12 treatments of taxol after my FEC treatment much better than FEC. I took mine with my herceptin infusion.

Patty—so glad you got on a drug with potentially good results and no hair loss!! Yay! I am praying for you every day! Glad your sister is there with you. Do you know how much longer you’ll be in the hospital? That sucks about after ending treatment and not feeling better. I had the same thoughts. That I would choose no treatment at some point in time and then feel pretty good and get some time with the family to do some traveling or something. That is what your MO says for now, but that could change depending on how this drug does for you! We are not giving up hope! Just love those boys. Sending much love and big hugs!

Adding my prayers and hugs to the chorus!

Patty, I think we all understand the numbness and anger. This disease is so cruel and unfair. I pray the carbo kicks it's butt and you rally again. You've been through hell and back and are such a strong willed woman, you deserve a giant break right now.

Please keep her in your prayers. Thank you. I am sorry I didn’t get a chance to update you sooner.

helllo ladies. So awesome to read your post of support. I am always amazed at the support here.
Anyway just got home from hospital tonite. Went in on Monday and had just gotten out of hospital like 2 weeks ago and it was a 2wewk stay. Ugh. Not sure I can see the quality of life there. Did find this time it was cdiff again so was glad it wasn’t a reaction to the chemo carbo. Actually the carbo seems to be working in numbers for lab anyway. My bilirubin would only move one way or the other depending solely if carbo is working and my bilirubin is back in norm range. Wow. Encouraging.
Just have to stay hydrated. I got 4 bags blood last hosp stat and 2 bags of platelets. This time two bags each. Not sure where the blood could be going.
Anyway. It is first night home alone. No nurses in and out , dss at their dads for school tomorrow. My lil sister and family cane in today from IL for a visit but they r st the motel. I am sitting here thinking way too much.
Making grocery list only to stop and think wait if chemo not working then I will have expire before my milk. Sorry not trying to be a Debbie downer. I Always jusr come honestly with my feelings. Same I put clothes in laundry basket to think I may never wash and wear that again before this dang disease wins. Torn between mad , scared I haven’t taught dss all they need to be independent young men. My body and brain is in definite major decline. My body feels like I am 80 not 47.
Mo had given me rx for Ativan I think it was but I have been hesitant to try it. I really want to be in the present as much as possible until the bad outweighs the good days. Which I say mostly now the bad days are winning.
I have had my “bag to open upon death “ ready for a couple years. No I didn’t think I was dying then I just had been thru so much strife with families and funerals. Funny how money can really divide families for life. I want them to just call one number and everything is complete step by step instructions.
My closest family and friends have been coming here from all over to see me before uhhh. U know. But I have some family who are waiting to come for funeral. WTH. ??? Can’t come see me now don’t come bothering my family when I die. Ugh. All families got at least one crazy person in it. Lol.
I got more winded then expected and my brain is throbbing from trying to get words right and correct them. Some kind of disconnect from brain to body. Scary as hell.
Hugs. Gonna try to get some rest.

I'm so glad to see you! We were worried. That's great news that it's working. Good question about where does the blood go.
I've taken Ativan. It doesn't put you out or make you feel weird. Just calms the brain from going round and round. You can still function. There's also Xanax or Valium. Try 1/2 a pill if you're worried.
Drink, drink, drink!!!

PattyPeppermint....I'm sure you don't remember me, but I remember you. I've been following your posts since I joined the forum 3 years ago. I'm so sorry you are suffering. This damn disease! You are one of the most courageous, compassionate and intelligent women on this forum. I feel like I know you. You have battled this with dignity and grace. I hope and pray you and those you love find some peace.

Hi Patty. So glad that bilirubin is in normal range. Yeah for carbo. cdiff sucks, but fixable, right? Your body has been beat up before.
Enjoy your sister time. Maybe do nails together or watch movie to keep your mind in happy place?
We are listening, you are never alone.

Patty, so glad to see you post! As you see, many of us think of you and hope things are settling down for you. Sounds like your chemo is working on your liver numbers, hope that continues for you. Family is always a complicated thing..I have issues with my own sister. You are wise to have everything taken care of in advance. I've taken Ativan in the past, it really does take the edge off without making me feel loopy. I hope you enjoy your visit with your family and friends.
