Well, THAT was fun. Hemo was 6.9, is now 8.3, and normal is 14. So, it doesn't look as though taxol will be such a walk in the park after all. Plus, my fingers are swollen, hurt when I bend them, and are extremely sensitive to heat... which the oncologist who did rounds today said he'd seen before with taxol. I can't imagine what I'll do with all the time I'd have otherwise spent knitting. Plus, my tongue is starting to have 'issues.'
The good news is that I think the anemia will be able to be managed -- or at least monitored -- locally by my GP. The bad news is that the anemia (a.k.a., exhaustion) looks like it's going to take some serious wind out of me over the next few months. Waiting to hear what the oncologist has to say on Monday about all this.
