Danny,
The Taxol/Carboplatin regimen kicked my butt pretty well. The 2 week recovery between rounds was a definite benefit. I recovered pretty well by the time round two started, but really had to keep an eye on the bloodwork results. Ended up on Procrit for low red cell counts during the second round. Got my last dose of Taxol the day before Thanksgiving last year, and since the side effects didn't seem to kick in until 48 hours after, I enjoyed a GREAT Thanksgiving dinner with the family.
It sounds to me like your having a pretty normal response to the chemo, though mowing the lawn in northern Wisconsin in November seems a little off smile

Pray for a good hard frost, and take it easy until Spring.

I'm praying for you that the chemo continues to do its job.

Good Health

Chuck
