Chemo 3: Bad news first-didn't go so well, chemo port entry had some problems and from then on i was sick to my stomach until about 8:30 that night. Ugh. But after that I was fine. Next day I was ok. Still refusing to eat certain types of meat or foods.
Good news: When I got booster shot, Dr. Fleener snagged me and said she wanted to measure the tumor. She said it was still shrinking at a rapid rate (great news). I asked her if there was such a time when the tumor goes away completely and there is not a reason for surgery and she said still have it because they have to be certain there is not a tumor lurking. After my chemo #4, she is going to recommend they "tag it" through a biopsy like gun like they used when I got my core biopsy so they can keep track of it even as it shrinks to nothing:) Sometimes it moves and she doesn't want to lose track of it. We are definately looking at lumpectomy-not the other!!!!!
She had a long talk with me about depression, because I have been crying a lot lately. She assured me this is the "depression" dip. The hair is gone, the feeling of ugly is there....it is normal and ok that I am feeling like this. So that made me feel better. If it doesn't iron it out this month or so, she will talk to me about anti depressants but I told her I didn't think those were necessary.
