So today is the last of the so call Red Devil (adriamycin), I call it the Red Sunshine because that is how it is referred to in a book I read called "the Red Sunshine" written by a physician who battled stage 3 breast cancer who lives in Seattle. So I prefer to call it the red sunshine. Anyway, its over, and that was suppose to be the worst of the chemo regimen. This last treatment was a week delayed because of the infection, but that is a small bump in the road.
I now will start 12 weeks of carboplatin and taxol. Apparently the worst that can happen with this is peripheral neuropathy (numbness and tingling in the hands and feet) which we hope is temporary but can be permanent. I'm not scared, let's do it!
