Captains Log - Day 1

Well I have done it.. had my first dose of Docetaxol. How do I feel? Ruddy marvellous!! No allergic reaction to the medication, went in beautifully in just over an hour. My face has changed colour slightly, I went from looking flushed to deathly white, my lower back and legs are aching somewhat but nowhere near as much as I was expecting - it's similar to the ache I had after the first Herceptin. They took four attempts to get the the canula in but that was the only downside to the whole procedure. I went to bed when I got in but was not able to rest, so instead I jumped in the car, went to the shops and got Ben and Jerry's Phish Food icecream!!! I know its early days yet, there is a chance that I will feel worse as the days progress but I am not worried. Right now I am feeling fine... ooh yes..I know where the tumours are because right now they are hurting and we all know that pain is good when it comes to chemo. When I had the last batch I felt like I was being bitten hard in the area where my breast lump was and that's now gone. Loving Pink's new song 'So What', turned my stereo up loud and grinned all the way home!!
