081201 - Millie began the 1st treatment of the 1st cycle of Taxol and Xeloda
081202 - on 050415.
081204 -  ..
081205 - A few days ago, OA 040514 Millie mentioned she has felt occassional
081206 - tingling for a few days in her left forearm on the side where swelled
081207 - lymph nodes occurred orignially in 2002, and where the latest CT test
081208 - seems to indicate new swelling has been detected, although it
081209 - discusses the right auxilla, rather than the left.
081211 -  ..
081212 - This morning Millie indicated she has not felt tingling in the left
081213 - forearm for the past two days.

081215 -     [On 050422 tingling not reported to doctor during examination on
081216 -     050422. ref SDS 4 NM6J
081218 -  ..
081219 - As reported on 040515, she was unusually energetic Friday evening
081220 - after the treatment, especially given the fact that she had Benedryl,
081221 - which previously had caused drowsiness, e.g., on 040427, ref SDS 1
081222 - F54N and on 040504. ref SDS 2 F54N
081224 -  ..
081225 - This morning she reported not sleeping well last night.  She woke
081226 - numerous times.
081228 -  ..
081229 - So far, there have been minimal side effects of the new treatment.
081231 -  ..
081232 - She had diarea once on Saturday morning.
081234 -  ..
081235 - Her eyes were tearing quite a bit Sunday, while we were shopping for
081236 - gardening and other items.  Her energy has been fairly good.
081237 - Yesterday she made corned beef and cabbage, which is an involved dish
081238 - to prepare.
081240 -  ..
081241 - Millie feels that that redness in her breast is beginning to recede
081242 - again.  Not sure if this is an illusion yet, or whether 4 cycles of
081243 - AC and now 1 cycle of Taxotere, with several treatments with Xeloda
081244 - is beginning to yield favorable response.

081601 - Called Mil at work.  She is feeling so so, somewhat anxious, queasy,
081602 - and nauseous.  We considered that she come home early today, rather
081603 - than get weaker and weaker.  Millie did not take medications to work
081604 - this morning.  Tomorrow she will take Compazine with her, and that may
081605 - reduce symptoms, if they occur again.
081607 -  ..
081608 - I asked if N&P has a rest area where she can lay down for 20 minutes
081609 - or so?
081611 -  ..
081612 - Mil said they don't have those facilities.  She thinks she will be
081613 - okay for today, and hopefully things will improve tomorrow.
