Part 6

Next chemo was on Sep. 15. Got lab work done and went to see Dr. Oommen and then off to chemo. It was not so bad. Shreai took me and La Sha showed up the drugs going in are not to bad its the after effect. Any way Shreai, La Sha and I played cards. It was great getting chemo and playing cards with your daughters. We had a good time and it didn't take very long. After this second around it was not so bad. Since Kim a nurse explain to La Sha and I how to take the nausea meds. We master it cause I didn't get sick not once go us. Went to church that night got a head ache but it was ok. Didn't get sick this around. But went back that Friday and got some more fluids and felt a little sick sitting in the waiting room. So they got me back pretty quick. Got my fluids and was good to go. I would say this time around was ok.

On the 21 of Sep. went and did my lab work. Blood counts down a little not to bad. My next around of chem is on Sept. 29. Went and got lab work and then went to see Dr. Oommen. He was not please with the results of the chemo. The tumor is not responding to the chemo. So I don't get chemo today. He is starting me on hormone therapy. Tamoxifen which is a estrogen blocker. This is what he thinks will make the tumor smaller. I started it that night and I take it every night.

My next vist with Dr. Oommen is on Oct. 13 he was very please on how the Tamoxifen is working It had made it smaller and moveable alot. He said it was justing going to take time and getting it really small for surgery. So my next vist with him will be on Nov. 10.
