Today I started my holiday from Abraxane. I will continue with Zometa and Avastin, but the idea is that I'm currently doing so well that taking a break from chemo will do no harm. This will also enable everybody to see if just the Zometa and Avastin combination will keep things at bay.

If not (I am monitored with blood tests, and Dr. Hayes will order scans if warranted), I will obviously continue with Abraxane. However, eventually I will develop tingling and numbness in my extremities, and the drug may stop working for me. At which point there are other drugs to choose from, but I'm not sad about delaying the inevitable.

I'm also not sad to not spend the later part of this week--the Thanksgiving Holiday--feeling icky and like I have the flu. Woohoo!

I am a little bit sad that my braces were adjusted yesterday. I feel the pain. I hope my teef recover by Thursday.
