Day 21: Another thing my doctors warned me about... mouth sores. I've been trying to stay ahead of this by using a new toothbrush every other week, switching to a natural toothpaste and alcohol free mouthwash. Still I think I feel something! Also, this week I felt a couple of spasms, likely from the Neulasta shot, but they were very brief and didn't warrant any Tylenol. At least I know my body is working hard making white blood cells!
Days 22-28: My "recovery week" went well once again! It's amazing how on Sunday night, all of a sudden, I feel the brain fog lift and I can do things again, like pick up my daughter -- who's getting heavy! Around Day 25 I had some bone pain. I probably could have dealt with it without meds, but I took a Percocet! I've been through enough! :-) I've been sleeping pretty well, with the exception of some night sweats. Also, false alarm on the mouth sores. Yay! Ready to start my third treatment of AC chemo.
