Third treatment results

I have good news. The tumor has shrunk. The Doc had a hard time finding it. I was so excited to know that it wasn't just my imagination. When we started all this, all I had to do was put my hand on my breast and the tumor would fill my palm, now I have to dig for it. Cool huh.

I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping. So when they gave me the Benydryl it made me groggy but I didn't go to sleep. So for the first time I was able to feel the chemo course though my veins. It felt like pressure and slight burning. I felt it first in my liver then across to my pancreas and gallbladder, to my stomach through my intestines, down my legs and my arms. Very interesting feeling.

I feel great today. I think the steroids are giving me the energy, or maybe the green smoothies are the trick. The Doc was all for the smoothies and said that the chemo does all that it will do in the first three hours. So I waited three hours and had another smoothie. Then when we got home my Blendtec was here and I had to try it out so I had another smoothie before bed.

When I was done with treatment I called mom to come and get me, at that time she told me that George had been throwing up and had a high fever. Miquel was going to watch George for my while I went to treatment but Attisyn had the flu and we didn't want George to get it. Too late. Atti only threw up a couple of time, George puked up his toes several times and his fever reached 103 degrees from him arm pit so I am sure it was really higher than that but I didn't want to traumatise him anymore by putting a thermometer up his butt. He is feeling much better today. He doesn't really want to eat but he is drinking almond milk and water. Can't get Pedialite down him.

More good news the scoma in my arm pit where they removed the sentinel nodes has finally started to go down. I started taking an antibiotic a couple of days ago. The redness and tenderness are less and the the lump is much smaller. yea.
