August 13: I went to the hospital on Thursday for my routine appointments prior to chemo. My blood work showed that my liver functions were elevated. Dr. Garg wants me off the anti-fungal medication for a week to see if there is a change before my next blood draw next week. Dr. Garg also indicated that Taxotere can elevate kidney functions. He is very conservative and given my past history is not willing to take any unnecessary chances. If all looks good next week, chemo treatment 7 will be August 19. He also told me that the Taxotere hit me hard and instead of chemo every 2 weeks, it will be every 3 weeks. If everything goes as planned, September 9 will be my last treatment.
I was a little worried about Treatment 7 going as scheduled August 12. I believe I only had 2 days out of 14 that I did not feel like I was crushed by a Mack truck. It was definitely a very different set of side effects with Treatment 6.
I am almost done....AMEN!!
