Taxol #8

written on Wednesday in the infusion room:

Counting down helps. 4 more to go. Today I am doing alright except for the sinus infection that started about a week ago. Started out with my usual fall allergies and some sneezing and coughing and advanced to an infection. Dr. A doesn't want to put me on antibiotics though, and for this I'm grateful. My white counts are only slightly low, and I'm only a little anemic so I'm not completely exhausted and I'm not absolutely miserable. Just kind of run down and slow.

I have a tumor on my left thumb. It's probably benign, a neuroma which arose for some unknown reason, associated with my Taxol-induced neuropathy, I think.
