Only 1 More Chemo Session to Go!!!

On April 21, 2014 my 3rd FEC chemo was administrated. My sister Katie was able to go with to this chemo session. I have now completed a total of 15 chemo sessions. So how did it go and how did I feel??? Well, I was exhausted. Had no energy. It was very hard for me to focus on anything. All I wanted to do was sleep. A few days last week I was only awake about 6-7 hours throughout the entire day. And I was also nauseated with very little appetite. Any strong smell would send me over the edge. All of the chemo has finally caught up with me. I consider myself lucky though as I have been on chemo since mid-December, and it is just now really starting to effect me. Only one more chemo session to go!!!

Next week I will be at MD Anderson. During this visit I will have another mammogram, ultrasound, an appointment with a genetics counselor, another bone scan, visit with the reconstructive surgeon, and an appointment with my surgeon. I have lots of questions that I need addressed during this trip, so I am anxious for next week. One primary question that I have on my mind is if getting a double mastectomy is the appropriate route to go?? After my recent oncologist appointment in Lubbock my doctor seemed to think this was extreme, and left me feeling confused. I will post how the MD Anderson visit goes. I am very hopeful that at the end of the visit next week I will feel confident in all of my decisions.
