Hi everyone~
I thought I would update you on mom. As you may or may not know she was diagnosed at the end of october. Had a mastectomy of her right breast in early november and started chemo in december. Yesterday was her second dose of cytoxan and adriamycin. She has 2 more treatments with that combo then starts on 4 treatments with taxol.
Her hair fell out about the third week after the first c/a treatment.
So far she is in good spirits. No nausea or vomiting!!!!!!! (she doesn't even take any of the pills for the nausea!)
I continue to pray every day for her and all of you who are going through the same things.
Please keep mom in your prayers with me.

Anyone of you on Taxol? I was wondering what she can expect with that. I know everyone is different but if any of you have information about side effects, I would love to hear them.
Thanks so much!!!


Julie
