Yesterday's Doxil treatment went fine. My bloodcounts were good and I spoke with the doctor before having treatment. We reviewed all my recent health issues and he agreed that the post-nasal drip could definitely be causing my upset stomach. To that end, he gave me a prescription for Flonase, which I'm supposed to use for three days in a row. It seems to be helping already today. I don't know how long I'm supposed to wait between uses, but in the interim, he suggested saline spray. When I get to the end of the bottle (about 30 days worth), I'll schedule a follow up with my primary care physician (Dr. Gout) to either continue with the Flonase or try something my friend Kate uses and suggested. Thanks for the hint, Kate!
I was so sleepy after all the medications they gave me yesterday that I came home and slept for two and a half hours. Me, the woman who doesn't nap! Today I went back to the gynecologist because I was still experiencing some issues and discovered my bacterial infection is not quite gone. She gave me a prescription for an oral antibiotic, which I cleared with the oncologist's office before starting it. I wonder if the pharmacy gives out prizes for the person with the most unique prescriptions filled in one month?? Hopefully this will take care of it, the Flonase will work like a charm to rid me of the post-nasal drip, and I can return to feeling normal. That would be a pleasant change. I am starting to feel better, and my friend and neighbor Lydia informs me that I look much better, although thin.
I am finally getting around to printing the photos from our last cruise, believe it or not. I apologize publicly to Chris and Ian for not getting any photos to them on DVD yet, but my new burner is still out of stock and I'm getting frustrated with buy.com. One of these days I'd like to complete my DVD from our European vacation, but without a burner, I can't go much further with that project. I can't believe how much I've let slide since we came back from vacation, but I started feeling poorly during radiation, which started that next week, and I'm just now starting to feel like getting things done. We'll see how long this burst of energy lasts.
Hope you all have a good weekend!

Don't sweat the photos at all. Not a problem. Ian has been too busy at work to produce his end of year Xmas present photo slide show for his Mum and my sister! And it's nearly February! And we have more than enough photos of the cruise so don't worry your nose off! I know how miserable it makes one feel. I use Flonase come spring! Ian is a day older today!
Flonase is the only thing that works for me....and though I don't like taking drugs, when the going gets rough...I run to the medicine cabinet for it!
I hope it works for you. patti
