I was initially worried about what that meant for my overall chances of fighting cancer, but Dr. Kaplan took the time to explain to me (one of many reasons I love him) that the research shows that the important part is that we do the 12 weekly doses of Taxol. For the 4 bi-weekly doses of A/C that I'm doing now, there's only one larger study that shows a very small improvement in doing it bi-weekly vs. every three weeks. Either way, as he said, if I try to do A/C again on Monday I will just end up back in the hospital. And much as I'm enjoying my room with a view and the lovely nurses, I'd like to avoid being here another month.
In other news, I woke up hungry for the first time in a few days today and ate some breakfast without feeling nauseous. And with the fog outside and my stack of books and cup of tea, it actually feels quite cozy.
