11/11/2026 Treatment #8 in the books! 4 more of the Paclitaxel/Carboplatin weekly and Keytruda every 3 weeks. Then I’ll start Doxorubicin (Red Devil)/Cyclophosphamide/Keytruda every 3 weeks for 4 treatments. Today was halfway through my 16 treatments!!!! It occurred to me last night as I was getting ready to take my steroids, that my side effects might have been worse this past week because we had reduced them so I could sleep better. Today I talked to my care team and we are going to increase the steroids a bit to see if that helps with the side effects. I just know not to expect to sleep Tuesday and Wednesday nights and Wednesday and Thursday will require naps. Hopefully this will be a good balance so I can function better. Have to drink more water too 😬 One of my other side effects has been folliculitis on my scalp. Dr said probably from the Keytruda but could be from hair loss. That’s gotten better today so I’m thankful for that!! Treatment went well and I expect I might actually sleep well tonight though I can tell I’m still ramped up on steroids from today 🤷♀️ We got to see a beautiful sunrise this morning! The pics don’t do it any justice, but they are still pretty. Bonus pic of me protecting my hands and feet from neuropathy with ice packs during my Paclitaxel administration 😂 2 Cor 12:9 #Rally4Hallie
