I have been fortunate to have avoided most of the side effects of chemotherapy. Most people loose weight, and I think I've gained weight! However, the last couple of weeks I have been experiencing numbness and tingling in the bottom of my feet that is a side effect of the drug Taxol. It's a fairly common side effect. It's difficult for me to walk barefoot, but with shoes on, no one could tell I was having any problems. It's annoying and supposed to disappear after the drug is out of my system. Only two more chemo treatments! Yippee!!
I will be traveling to Wichita next week to attend the nurses state convention. I am planning to stay with Aaron and Lindsay and probably stay Friday night to extend my visit. They will be home in Girard this weekend to attend a wedding.
I have been in Topeka most of this week (except for Monday - chemo day) because the school has had state and national "inspection". It is stressful and will be over today, thankfully. I am glad it's Friday and I can be home soon.
Have a great weekend -
Love to you,
Ellen
