Polks Dots LOL

Just a little update how my latest doctor appointments went. I saw the dermatologist about the rash that is caused from the pills I'm taking. I've got some horse pills (antibiotics) that I have to take twice a day and some wash and gel to put on the rash. I can already tell a little difference in the rash. I'm counting down the days until it goes away and I look "normal" again. I go back in two weeks so they can see how things are going. Gotta tell ya'll a little story that made me smile. We were in the airport waiting for our flight out of Houston. There was this little girl sitting there with her mother and she looked at me and said "Mama that lady has polka dots all over her face." The innocent words of children. They say it like they see it LOL. The little girl had no idea, she just saw my polka dots and told her mother about them LOL

I also saw my clinical nurse. She just went over a bunch of questions about side affects. It's the same list of questions she askes me every week. After talking to her my doctor came in to see me. Right now they are focusing on getting the rash cleared up and under control. If it doesn't get any better then they will talk about lowering my dose of pills I'm taking. That's the last thing we want to do, so were hoping the meds that the dermatologist gave me will work. They are pretty sure it will. I'm not the only one this has happened to.

Next Thursday I go back for my second round of chemo. I'm not worried about it this time since I've already gone through a round and it wasn't bad. We will fly back home Friday.

That's about it for an update right now. I'm feeling good, just tired as usual and I've been having a lot of headaches, which headaches are normal for me. I get them all the time anyways. Nausea is a lot better. It's not constant anymore, it comes and goes YAY!!
