Chemo #7, Cycle 3

Friday was my most recent chemo treatment, and I also had my regular infusion of Zometa and a painful shot of Lupron just for fun:) Plus, because my leg is still hurting, I had an X-ray with negative results :) and because my left foot is grotesquely swollen (no pic included, i decided i couldn't offend you that much!) I had a doppler ultrasound of my leg to make sure no blood clots, also, thankfully, negative.  Apparently, lots of people swell up as a reaction to chemo, plus the lovely steroids, and I've been lucky enough to avoid this side effect til now.  Leanne thinks i should get an echocardiogram just to make sure my heart hasn't been damaged by the chemo, which could also cause the swelling I'm experiencing...I'm hoping to wake up tomorrow morning and have it resolved:) This morning, I was finally able to try on my new boots to make sure they fit before it swelled up again, which made me very happy!!

ShellyB was my chemo fairy this week, and she and Will kept me company for the very long day we spent at Strong.  She brought me pumpkin seeds and chocolate dusted almonds - she knows the way to my heart:) She also knows the way to my funny bone - no one makes Will or me laugh like she does:) Love you!!
