Texas style truth is sometimes found in the mud between your boots and the bluebonnets.

Dodging phone calls and facebook at times
Sorry I am still dodging some calls and posts. I can only hear positive stuff. Which 90% have been after people starting getting the message from my tone or something that I can not handle negitive. But still I have been getting the long stories of how Uncle so and so died from his chemo treatments, some reaction....but oh i am sure that won't happen to you. These kinds of stories really send me into panic as I am headed into my first chemo treatment. Until a month ago I thought all chemo was the same-there are like 20 different kinds so swapping stories about all the horrible things your chemo did to you doesn't help either unless you have the exact same chemo I have. I have 3 friends that have that. 3 is not a lot. I have 3 combos of chemo-Adriamycin (Red Devil), Cytoxan and then later Taxol. They are particularly unfriendly combos but they have to be used to get the job done. I know loving friends would love to see me go another route like use hormone therapy or HERT2 therapy but that isn't an option with my kind of cancer. I can't use supplements or special vitamins or diets that might interfere with the Red Devil I take in one of my combos...so no use in trying to tell me to take that. Sorry, just get tiresome.
