First round of Taxotere

The team at Babb Cancer Center said it is typically tolerated much better than the AC. So far, that is holding true, I had my first round of Taxotere Thursday and don't feel nearly as sick. Praise the Lord! I have three weeks off between the last two treatments, that too, is a blessing. Every other week didn't give me much time to get caught up.

My hair is starting to grow back. It's very light in color and fuzzy which makes it stick straight up. LOL. I'm anxious to see how it will change over the next few months.

Kids are all ready for school to start on August 19 (the date of my second treatment). The classes I teach will start the following Monday so I don't anticipate canceling any classes due to illness. My last treatment is on September 9. We are celebrating by taking a much needed family trip to Branson, possibly Silver Dollar City. We are also planning a scrapbook retreat weekend at my sister-in-laws's house in Kansas City later that month.

Thank you for all your prayers, gifts, cards, and dinners. It is so greatly appreciated.
