I have been overwhelmed by the love and support my family and I have received since we found out I have breast cancer. I want everyone to know of my sincere appreciation for the many prayers and messages of support, especially the fast in which so many were participating. My family is setting up this blog as a way to keep people updated on my progress. Thank you so much for your love.

Starting Taxol
Today Becky went in for her first dose of Taxol. The last 2 weeks have been the most difficult so far. It took several days for her to start feeling better after her last dose. She was given another course of antibiotics, but they had little impact. She continues to fight cold symptoms, but after a visit with the Dr. today, he thinks it may be drainage from her eyes that is irritating her sinuses and throat. Hopefully this will resolve now that we have changed to a different drug. One of the differences with Taxol is the higher possibility of an allergic type reaction to the chemo. To help with this they give 50mg of IV Benadryl before the infusion. Becky was pretty much knocked out after that. Haha. She seems to be doing well after the dose and we will wait and see what the coming days bring. Most people say that the Taxol is easier to tolerate, and so we are hopeful that this is the case for Becky.
