So I will be starting chemo this thursday, I will be receiving two different types, Taxotere and Cytoxan. The plan is to do four rounds.

After chemo, I will receive radiation for 6 to 8 weeks. Then I will most likely go on Zometa, the length of treatment is no known at this time.

On the funny side I also received a prescription for a cranial prosthesis, I was so excited, I thought Oh wow, maybe I can get like Albert Einstiens brain cells or Madam Curie, then I found out it is for fake hair! LOL…....... I love it! I think I know some bald guys that I may donate that script to.

Well Thursday is the day, I am excited to get on with my treatments so they can end soon. Thanks to all of you for the support and prayers you send my way.

The baby birds hatched today, they are so very precious, as soon as I am able I will send along some pictures.

I hear this new drug is good, I hope you do well on it.

I hope things go well for you during your chemo and radiation. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Hugs,
Joyce

Glad to hear your plan is in place. I’m sure you are a little uneasy about starting the chemo, but wanting to get it going. I had cytoxen and taxotere also, but in a little different order with andrimyacin added. I’ll be thinking of you on Thursday, my chemo day as well. I am glad to hear they are recommending radiation as well. This tripple negative crap is nothing to mess around with. I am sure your going to kick the crap out of it. I am interested in hearing more about the Zometa. Hugs your way!
