Chemo nitemare

Hopefully the past week will be the worst I will experience on chemo!

I dont hurl; I dont stop eating; I dont curl up in a ball and give up...except this past week.

It was lots of all 3!!!!! The medications they gave me for nausea didnt work well for me and by Sunday I was not feeling well at all!!! It was a downhill slide from there as I couldn't keep anything down and didnt keep as well hydrated as I should have. By Monday the medical staff called for me to go to the hospital on Tuesday. 2 more days off of work but not the vacation I had hoped for.

I was at the hospital all day Tuesday hooked up to IVs. I did put in a full day but not at work as expected!

Today I returned to work in much better physical shape and am feeling soooo much better tonight!!! I have been grazing all day today and had a real dinner tonight.

Three more weeks until I have to take the "bad" chemo drug again. 2 weeks of the "gentle" chemo and a week of testing until I have another go at it.

The really good news is there was just one weekend I was hoping to have as a testing week-my nephew, David, and his new wife, Brittaney's reception in Ohio. If all goes well, it looks like that will be the testing Friday and I will be free to enjoy the weekend in Ohio!!!

love to all!!!
