Currently Undergoing Chemotherapy

Hi Ladies!  I know someone asked this before but heck if I can find the thread.  I am interested in knowing who is CURRENTLY undergoing chemotherapy right now.  I find it very hard to keep track of who is receiving current treatment.  You don't have to say much, maybe something like:

IV Carbo/Gemzar for first recurrence  OR something like
IV weekly Taxol for maintenance

I personally would find it useful especially if people keep it updated.  We know who may be going through the really rough times, who to ask about a particular drug, and a chance to find out how the drugs are working for them.  Does that sound OK, or is it too nosy?  It's just I thought if this information were consolidated into one thread instead of scattered all over, it would make things easier.  Maybe you could put the chemo drugs in the "To" box would make it even better.  I'll start off on the next post.

My mom just finished her 2nd round (of 6) of Carbo/Taxotere through IP port.  She just started losing her hair.  She is working 40 hours and doing well otherwise.

I am a dumb bunny.  I thought the post I did was on the healthpages.  I guess I should figure out how that works.

I saw this and thought it would be a good idea to do it on the healthpages because that can be edited and we can keep a list going that can be added to or changed.  That way we don't have to scroll through all the posts or try to find this one after it scrolls off.  As little as that is being used it wouldn't roll off anytime soon.  If you see my post on here you'll see what I mean.

  Good idea! I can never keep track of it either esp if something happens and I am away as I have been recently.

I am currently on avastin/abraxane. Once a week for 3 weeks and then a week off.
