Peanuts and Taxol

Here today at Chemo Central, snacking on a peanut granola bar as my Taxol Treat winds its way through my veins. No mega dose (or any) Benadryl with this cocktail, so no drug induced looniness or sleepiness!:) That said, I am tired. Up at 6:30 to leave the house by 7:30 for my first consultation with a radiation oncologist. Figuring I won't be done with the chemo until 4 o'clock:(

My escort today was friend Cynthia. Ride home is with friend Ellen, who also stopped by for a visit before school.

6:21 p.m. addendum: Had a nice surprise when Ellen came back to fetch me home: her sweet daughter Clare, who is in fifth grade this year, came along. And, of course, I wasn't thinking and missed the opportunity for a photo, darn:(  That said, we had a great visit and an enjoyable conversation about the Aztec civilization!

Got home around 4:30 -- very, very long day. Going to take my friend Bill B.'s advise and pamper myself this weekend. How? Hhmm, maybe by not doing any office work!

    Thought about you today when I realized it was Friday! P.S. - I would generally snack on the Lorna Doone cookies while visiting - I only had to make the nurse laugh a couple times to talk her out of "one pack for the guy with the nice lady" It is great to have friends! Sleep in - Pamper yourself this weekend and just take care of you!

    BB: Lorna's are what I eat first thing upon arrival -- they get me through all the pre-chemo stuff! I'll take your advice and do some pampering. Thanks for thinking of me and sending me your good thoughts! :)
