Cycle 2 day 5

Friday July 24 I had my second cycle of chemotherapy. It was a long day because I also had my port placed. 

Before my port placement.  

The port placement was actually a bit more uncomfortable than I thought it would be but it is done now and I have access for my treatments for the next ten months. We received really really great news on Friday. On Manual exam my doctor believes that my tumor has shrunk by 50% in diameter. That's amazing!   I can't wait to have an ultra sound in a few weeks to see how much smaller it really is.  

I was able to tolerate the Taxotere this round and I have to tell you it has wiped me out. I have slept and slept and slept.  Chemo is not easy but we are kicking cancer's ass
