Half-Way

I finished my second full cyle of Taxol last Thursday and I am starting the third cyle this Thursday. Which means I am halfway through my Taxol treatments. So far so good. I went yesterday 4/10 to have sonogram of my tumor to check on size. Good news...it has shrunk from 2.8mm to 1.8mm. My mom says that is half, but not quite...lol

I have been battling an upper respiratory infection for two weeks and the annoying cough has not gone away. I went to the doctor to have it checked again yesterday and they think I now have pneumonia as they see some spots in my x-ray. I don't feel bad enough to have pneumonia as I have not had a fever. The cough is just annoying. So I have 10 days of antibiotics and it has to clear up in two weeks or I need to get checked again to make sure it isn't something more serious. I will see my oncologist on Thursday and hopefully he will confirm that it is just an infection.

Please keep the prayers coming that my tumor keeps shrinking and these spots on my x-ray go away! Thank you for all of your support and prayers!

I hope to see some of you at the Relay for Life walk on Saturday, April 27th in Wylie!
