Today I resumed chemotherapy. I began the Xaloda today and will have my first infusion Friday morning. I just came from a meeting with my oncologist. He agreed that given the suddenly rising blood sugars, the weight loss and a few other weird symptoms I have noticed, it all adds up to resuming chemo.
I take Xaloda by mouth and I will get the Taxotere and the Gemzar through an infusion Friday morning. I will see three cycles of 2 weeks of chemo then a week off, this is a cycle, three cyles make a set and then I will go through another set before we re-sample. This time however I may go a third set before a holiday. This time it is for all the marbles; I will keep going until either the cancer is gone or I simply cannot take any more chemo. Then I will take only enough time to get my strength back and then start chemo again.
I call the time I am in chemo the dark ages. I get all foggy and time and memory slips away from me. I will post as often as I can to keep people informed but there will be little to report except how lousy I feel and any weird ideas I may have about mortality.
