Chemo 9-5

Another tough weekend after receiving the more aggressive chemo. I got many more drugs and even steroids to help me through the aftermath but still I've been throwing up and not able to eat much. Jello and ginger ale are my mainstays!

We discovered that the trigger baddie is water. So I cant drink that. Yesterday (Saturday) was a blur of sleeping and ... wont talk about it any further.

Today is the Steeler game. So hopefully it will be a GOOD day!!! Love the black & gold!!!

Here's the good news!!! Only 2 more doses of this type if chemo. The other type is not at all hard to deal with. So I'm 1/2 done with the bad stuff!!!

love,
Franny

Sorry to hear that you are having a rough time. Water, huh? Well, at least it's not whipped cream. :)

Here's hoping that you can get these bad weeks behind you, and finish chemo before Christmas cookie season!

May you be blessed with some relief!

Hi Fran,
I hope the ginger ale does the trick. I know that's what your Aunt Mary always said, haha.
We've managed to dodge storms here, thank goodness.
love, mc

Hi Franny,

Hope you have fully recovered from you Sept. 5th treatment! You know that Chocolate has healing properties.

Just wanted you to know that your friends here at BB&A are holding you up in thought and prayer!

God Bless You, Theresa
