Ready for Taxol
I saw Dr. VanderWoude this morning and the tumor continues to shrink! She is happy with my response to the chemo. If she’s happy, I’m happy. We talked about starting Taxol tomorrow. Nothing has changed with the original plan. We’re still doing a dose dense version and there are possible side effects. She did say that since I had such a terrible time with nausea on A/C that she can’t rule it out with Taxol. :(
Some bad news I found out at the doctor’s visit is that I gained five more pounds! This is not good. I would like to say it’s because of the steroids. It’s not. It’s due to the fabulous cooks who are bringing us food (particularly dessert). I have a huge sweet tooth and no willpower. Please do not take my weight gain drama as ungratitude for the food. We’re very thankful for it. I just need to show some restraint. :)
It feels good to be half way through chemo. I’m not at the half way point on the cancer road yet, but a very tough part is done. I’m thankful for that.
As far as tests are concerned, I still have the genetic testing to do. This will see if I test positive or negative for a particular gene that makes me more susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer. I don’t need another MUGA scan for my heart because I tested HER2 negative.
Tomorrow is chemo and meet my new surgeon day. It takes about four hours to get the new chemo. Jill is my chemo buddy (that’s what she calls herself). She’s going to take me to chemo where we’ll hang out, play some cards, eat lunch, I’ll get some chemo, she’ll get some relaxation and then we’ll go home.
I also meet with my new surgeon tomorrow - Dr. Liberty-Hoberman. I look forward to meeting and talking with her about the surgery.
Brooklyn, Max and Samantha had a great time last night at the church picnic. Brooke came home with some really cool tattoos. Since when do kids get tattoos at a CRC church picnic? That would never have happened when I was a kid. My how times have changed…..now I sound old.
28. July 2009 at 13:02
Great to hear from you again! I am praying Taxol will be mild for you!
I thought the same thing about the tattoos! All three of mine got one! At least they do say ‘God is Awesome’ or ‘Jesus loves me’ or a cross or something. Your testimony right on your arm!

Lindy,
You continue to amaze me….such a good attitude. Alot of people say that fighting cancer is 95% between the ears. Attitude, faith, hope and love have a lot to do with it.
Know that I am praying for you all the time. It helps to have the “support” bracelet on…you’re never more than a glance away.
Hugs to the kids and I’ll see you on Friday.
Love, Jana

Lindy, the kids were SO cute last night! i noticed that Max is looking more and more like his dad! Praying that Taxol is so much better with NO nausea!!! Don’t feel bad about the weight gain, 5 lbs is nothing! haha i have gained 30 so far!
29. July 2009 at 06:17
It was great to see you yesterday, Lindy!You serioulsy look amazing and always a beautiful smile on your face! I’m so glad about the great news that the tumor is shrinking. Praise God!!! I’ll be praying that today’s treatment goes well with no side effects.
“But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.” Psalm 71:14
29. July 2009 at 07:15
I’m praying for you!
30. July 2009 at 06:54
I hope your feeling better then expected , today, Lindy. Hopefully, the worst of the chemo side effects are in the past. I’m so glad you have alot of friends and family to support and help you through this. Praying for you daily.
30. July 2009 at 09:37
Howdy Lindy…..Hope things are going well for you. Mom and I think about you all the time. We both wear the “pink” braclets. Mine has never come off. I will wear it till your cancer free !!! Mom’s falls off once in a while. She has such skinny arms. You are in our prayers always. Love Ya Dad
30. July 2009 at 10:22
We missed you guys at the picnic. The kids are getting so big. Praying that everything will go well today and the next few days. Hang in there. Always in my prayers.
30. July 2009 at 15:07
Dear Lindy, You continue to crack me up, how do you stay so humorous with everything you are going through? I have days when I feel like crying because I can’t control my kids or just keep up with the laundry! And I have NOTHING to complain about. You are amazing and such a strong person. Loved Brooklyn’s dance! Thanks for all your postings.

Hi Lindy,
Praise God the tumor is still shrinking! Yea! I just wanted to let you know that I talked to someone yesterday who was on Taxol, and said what a big difference from her first doses of chemo that made her so sick! She said it was a breeze compared to that! Encouraging news! Our thoughts and prayers continue for you and your family!
Love,
Liz TenCate
