29 More to go

Today I had my 7th chemo. Corky took me today, we left around 4:15 and got back home around 3 in the afternoon. It is going a little better with the benadryl-I don't get so loopy off of the benadryl like the first few times. They said I am building up a tolerance to it. Today I did have some numbness and tingling in my nose, lips, toes and fingers. I think they said that it is the taxol that usually causes those side effects. I get to see the doctor next week-Jan 2 I am praying for more good news.
I had the best Christmas yet-praying for so many more and thankful for each and every day that I have.

6th one down

Friday I had my 6th chemo and I am still feeling fine. Still just tummy issues and my face breaking out but other than that I feel good. My dear friends Jaime and Annie took me for my chemo on Friday. We had a great day, after the chemo we ate at Cracker Barrell and went and did a little shopping. I am so blessed to have such great friends. Everyone has been so good about wanting to take me up to Duke for my treatments. Corky is going to take me the day after Christmas. Today we are heading down east to my dad's and exchange gifts and eat some good food. The steroids are kicking in, see how I have mentioned food twice in just a couple of sentences.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas-I know I will have the best Christmas ever. It's funny how Cancer changes everything and puts the important things in perspective.

Still feeling good!

I had my fifth chemo yesterday and that one went the best so far. My nerves have finally calmed down and I know it is just something I am going to have to do and get thru it.
Monday and Tuesday are usually my roughest days with tummy issues and my face breaking out but I can definately handle that.
I'm getting ready to take the kids to the Morehead Christmas parade so this is a short post to keep you updated.
Thank you so much for the continued support from everyone. God Bless You All. Love Audra

GREAT NEWS!

Your prayers are working-thank you thank you thank you!!! I saw my doctor yesterday and she measured the tumor and it has already shrunk in size. It did measure about 5cc and yesterday she thinks it is 31/2 by 41/2. So after only 3 chemos and lots of prayers from everyone it is already shrinking. I am truly blessed with such a wonderful family and friends and some people that I don't even know calling and emailing me with positive thoughts and prayers. Thank you to each and every one of you-God Bless you!
