I am now officially halfway through Taxol and 3\/4ths of the way through pre-surgery chemo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today was long, even though it was a non-Keytruda week. The bloodwork \u2013 which typically takes 15-20 minutes to come back \u2013 took about two hours!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I asked what dose steroid I was given last week, as I suspected that it wasn\u2019t lowered like it was supposed to be. Sure enough, I was right! So hopefully this week will be slightly easier in that respect. (Hear that, insomnia? Don\u2019t make an appearance tonight!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve had to wear my readers a lot more lately as things are often blurry when I read. It didn\u2019t quite feel like getting older was the reason. Again, I was right! (I\u2019ll try not to let this get to my head.) Vision changes are a chemo side effect, including blurriness. It could be temporary; time will tell. I was advised to wait until after chemo to see an ophthalmologist, because there could continue to be changes during and after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All in all, not too bad considering today is Friday the 13th!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
