5th Chemo Therapy Treatment

October 29th. They are very concerned about the numbness in my toes and bottom of my feet. It does cause some problems when I am walking. They decided to give me a smaller amount of Taxol today to see if it is stablized or if the numbness gets worse. They are worried because of the chance that this could be permanent nerve damage. If it gets worse they may decide to cancel the last treatment or give me a sister to Taxol instead of Taxol.
I do have some numbness in my fingers and hands, but nothing like my feet - just tingling sensations.

Kathy Jo,
I wanted to let you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers everyday. I know each persons cancer and treatments are different, but I want you to know your blog is extremely helpful to us through Michael's treatments.

Keep your chin up and know our hearts are with you.
Love from your cousins from Texas,
Michael and Melodie

Dear Katherine:

I want you to know that the miles between us are nothing, because you're always in my heart. If wishing could make it so, you'd be here with me now. I wish I could reach out and hug you!

While your body regains strength, let my prayers help sustain your spirit.

Love & happiness,

Carol
