Taxol (chemical name: paclitaxel)


My boyfriend thought his shoulder pain was due to pulling some muscles. After a couple of months of it getting worse…he thought …oh my Lord…I bet I have a torn rotor-cuff. We only wish it was so…
He went from those thoughts to the doctors finding a tumor on shoulder..(no problem, odds are that it is benign)...to hearing lung cancer with metastisis to shoulder and large bones… and 12-18 months???

I started logging this “journey” from MY perspective. The thoughts, feeling and poetry from someone who loves someone…who has cancer.

May 30th...uh oh...feeling like crapViews: 618

I talked to Wes this morning…dang it…I hate he is feeling so bad…not that it wasn’t expected…I guess I just thought since he had been doing so well that maybe he might be one of the lucky ones that did not feel that sick. Plus…I have been praying to God to heal him since this whole thing came about…and have lately been asking God that…if healing Wes isn’t in HIS perfect plan…then to please give him the strength, courage and peace to go through the chemo with very little problems.

I feel almost guilty about going to the “Sex in the City” movie premier tonight with Jo Ellen and Karen. We have always been big fans of the show…as a matter of fact, the New Years Eve after I had just met Wes (about 3 years ago…I mean I think he had been over with DAVO a bout 2 or 3 times…we hadn’t even kissed at that point) we had a “No Sex in the City” New Years Eve spend the night party at Jo Ellens house. Jo Ellens husband was out of town…Karens boyfriend (that she had lived with for over 20 years) and me (born again virgin that hadn’t even really dated in 5 years) drank cosmopolitans and rented all of the seasons of sex in the city on DVD and watched them all night. It was fun….anyhow I guess I am telling you all of that in the effort of justifying why I am going with them tonight.

I asked Freida if there anything I can do…or get? Is he having joint pain or is he throwing up? The last I talked to him (about 9:40 this morning) he just talked about having a bad night and that his muscles ached…but needless to say he wasn’t in a real talkative mood.

A friend I work with has fibromyalgia (constant joint and muscle pain) and she said she bought herself this thin from Homedics…kind of a pad that you lay on a recliner (or bed) that gives off heat and massage. She says when her joints hurt that she puts it on mild heat that warms it up just enough to maybe relax the muscles and ease her pain. I will look and see what I find on line.
