Another Friday has come and gone, another treatment under the belt. Holly has a little "funny feeling" in her feet that the doctor wants to watch out for. This seems to be the beginning of the neuropathy that the doctor warned us about. Apparently, almost all patients on Taxol chemotherapy develop neuropathy, which involves numbness and tingling of fingers and toes. Holly started to feel something a little off in her feet last week, and it has continued on to this week. The doctor said if this funny feeling spreads to the entire foot, he may either scale back the amount of Taxol drug, or we may have to stop the chemo treatments early. It is still too early to make that call, so we are just continuing to monitor the feet.
Today is Holly's birthday so after treatment, she wanted to see Toy Story 3, so off we went. Holly had a good time and felt well enough to grab some Chinese take-out for dinner. We spent a nice quite evening at home and Holly is tired but doing well.

Hi Holly,
ReplyDeleteI finally got my computer up and running. So glad to hear about the shrinking tumor! What a blessing! I can relate to the numbness in toes and fingers, have that with my MS. I hope this is not permanent for you. I will continue to keep you in my prayers!
Love Carol
