Starting taxol tomorrow

I should have done an update after the gastro update! I had physical therapy and occupational therapy on Monday (I'm doing great, they're very happy with how I'm doing), I've been feeling really good this week (no fevers, no fatigue issues), and I start the next round of chemo (taxol) tomorrow.

Taxol can cause allergic reactions so I'll be given pre-meds beforehand to try to keep this from happening. It can also cause nerve damage, so they'll be icing my hands and my feet while I receive the drip (it will be about an hour of this). And then if I feel any tingling or numbness, I have to let them know because the whole point of chemo is to cure the cancer, NOT to create more problems for me that I will then have to live with, and neuropathy is not something you want if you can avoid it. Nerves take a long time to heal, if they heal at all.

I'm continuing to live my life and do my various exercises and see my friends (outside or on video calls) and spend time with my cats. Things are good! I don't know how I'll do with taxol, but I'm trying to just take things as they come instead of worrying before I need to worry.
