I'm doing ok. Had a port "installed" in my chest last year, is how they administer my "cocktail". First it was taxol. Worst part of that one was sitting there for 5 - 6 hours in that uncomfortable recliner. Talk about TB!! (tired butt) Did go hairless, but that really isn't that bad. I didn't have to shave my legs or armpits for a long time!Found some fun hats and pins to wear, too! Was strange not having eyelashes or eyebrows, tho. Since then, my cocktails have been alimta, navelbine, and at the moment gemzar. I use oxygen when am at home, but I still get out and about. I just make sure places I go have scooters as walking too far exhausts me. Haven't run over anyone with one yet, but am going to Las Vegas for first time ever next month. Folks there might want to increase their insurance from runaway scooters! On a serious note, the Dr. did say a month or so ago that I should start looking into hospice care places. Bet they won't let me have my couple beers a night, tho. Bummer!!
