Well, it seems I may have overreacted yesterday. It appears that I may have been dealing with actual cancer symptoms rather than chemotherapy effects. It was a tough day to be sure, but had I taken Tylenol earlier it may have been easier. As the day wore on I began to wonder if I were sick and had Tara take my temperature. I was not feverish but when my muscles started to ache more I decided to try Tylenol. I hadn't worried about it before because I assumed this was all due to the chemo treatments and fatigue. Though I was not feverish it felt as though a fever had broken after the medicine began working. I no longer needed a blanket and I actually got warm. I felt a lot better and more energetic. Last night I woke up chilled and took Tylenol again. Sure enough, just as when this whole thing started, I woke up damp. The night sweats were back.
I am feeling tons better today and while I am glad the chemo effects aren't as drastic, I am a little more anxious about the upcoming scan. I hope this has all worked and we find that the tumors gone.

I'm glad that the Tylenol is helping and I'm sorry that you have to endure all the frustrations (physically and emotionally) with this trial. When is your next scan?
