Today I was given two new drugs: Herceptin and Taxol. We arrived at the Cancer Center at 9:30a.m. and home at 4:30 p.m. We saw the doctor first, and reviewed the treatment plan again. Then determined that my treatments will still be in a critical phase in September when we have plans with friends to go on a Viking Cruise down the Danube, to vistit Prague, Vienna, Budapest and other beautiful cities. The time line for chemo, surgery and radiation then chemo again just continue to go thru the fall...... so we hope that we can just postpone the trip until 2012. Life is just full of adjustments, gotta do what you gotta do.
I am wide awake at 11:30 p.m. I got a steroid injuction before treatment so lots of energy for a day and a half. Then ???
My mind is racing with ideas for the Art Center, Pops Orchestra and other organizations that I am involved with. The Art Center and Tecumseh Parks and Recreation is planning a tour de Tecumseh, bike ride on May 22nd. There will be a family ride ( 12 mi) thru trails in Tecumseh with stops at park along the way, and a Recreational Bike Ride for more serious riders, who will have a 50K or 31 mi ride thru town. This is a fundraising event for Community Arts of Tecumseh. We are working with ReBike an organization that rebuilds bikes so no one will be excluded if they don't have a bike.
We are waiting for some approvals but are excited to promote art, fitness and health.
Tecumseh Pops Orchestra and Community Chorus began rehearsals 2 weeks ago. "Let's Dance" is the theme. We have local dancers that will dance while the orchestra or chorus accompanies them. Ed and Michelle Stuck will waltz to "Lover's Waltz" on their 30 th wedding anniversary the day of the concert..... May 1, 2011 at TCA, time is 4 oclock. There will be about 5 dance music numbers. Hope we will have friends attend this one.
Time to lay my head on the pillow.... good night and sweet dreams!! Martha
Martha,
ReplyDeleteWe left at 11:30am was done by 6:30pm. Did the steroid help with nausea? My daughter found out yesterday, I did not pass this gene to her. I Thank God eveyday. I asked the Dr. why we change chemo, they said the cancer cells are smart and want to survive, by changing we trick them and kill them with the new chemo. Take care, get your rest, headed for my nap. Love Gail
