Tomorrow is the last of the first series of treatments. Yeah, halfway through. After that I have a three week break before I start the taxotere. I also have to have another echocardiogram. Having a medical problem is just not simple.
The doxycycline injection went OK on Monday. First Dr. Termuhlen drained the breast and got a record amount of fluid. She texted the residents with her results. I just love being part of a medical rivalry. She wasn't taking any chances on what "stinging" meant. She injected lidocaine first then the doxycycline. Then she smooshed the tissue around to spread it around. I am assured that is a sophisticated medical term. So far it doesn't seem to be making much difference. We may have to do it more than once. Fun, fun, joy, joy.
I don't feel very well today and am running a fever again for some reason. And my joints really hurt - could be the Neulasta, could be the damp weather, could be arthritis. Who knows? I just take more tylenol.
