I again, love Emend. We got one more sample for free, and a "voucher" for a buy one get one free basically. Its pretty amusing to me to have a coupon for anti-nausea drugs, but I'll take it!! :) I feel great today. I don't have any muscle soreness, though it could still definitely show up. I didn't have an allergic reaction while the taxol was going in, so that was good. I really like breathing, so it was nice to not have to hinder that. That had me a little nervous, obviously. I'm guessing Sunday I'll start feeling a little loopy when I don't have the Emend to take anymore, but if it goes the same as last time, there won't be any nausea either. Whee! I'm on a huge adrenaline rush from being OVER HALFWAY DONE. Aaahhh. Three left sounds so much better than only three done. The nurses and others that I've talked to have said after the first taxol it got easier. Plus you're on the downhill slope, so that rocks. My white blood cell count was huge, so no shot today either. One less needle, love it! Although the nice nurse that gives it to me reminds me of Brent's Grandma Bonnie, so I'll miss seeing her. :)
I don't have anymore until December. That sounds soooo good. Its finally starting to feel like there's an end to this poisoning thing after all. The light at the end of the tunnell is finally visible. After the second one, it was just dread of "I don't want to do this anymore, its going to take forever to get done" and now I know for sure I can do it, and its not the end of the world. Adrenaline is cruising through me man!
My friend from Harper came to visit yesterday and today which was just so nice to see her. I'm sure none of you know where Harper is, because its a town with a population of like 35. Literally. It took her like 8 hours to get here, and they're headed to a Beaver game tomorrow, but I never get to see her, and her kids are awesome, and it was good for my soul. I hope everyone has a great weekend, and I hope I do too!

I'm so glad that you and Rachel had a good visit. I know that it was just as good for her to see you as for you to see her. You're doing so great Mo. I can only hope that if I have to go through cancer that I would do it as gracefully as you.
P.S. Ah Harper, and we thought Prineville was small ;)
I'm so glad to hear you're feeling good and yay for being more than halfway done! I hope you have a great weekend, Mo!!

WE are so glad it is getting easier! Cya soon (we hope)
