Tomorrow will be a better day!

It has been a week since my last Chemo. The new wonderful drug that was supposed to help me only added a symptom but did not take away. I was not able to get out of bed because if I did I fell down. One time I got up to go to the bathroom and ended up on the floor next to the bed. That is where Kay found me. It was several days before I was able to sit upright. I will not do that drug again. I have not been able to go to work and that has been the most frustrating. I have a PET scan today to see what progress I am making. They inject me with a drug and I have to sit for over an hour perfectly still while the drug makes it's way through my system. Then I lay flat in a machine while it does a full body scan. Fun Huh. Sorry this post has been so negative. I am trying but it is getting to me. Tomorrow will be a better day.

Bouncing back

I haven't written for a long time so I thought I would update. This last chemo really took it out of me. Usually I am back in the swing of things within a week but not this time. I am still dragging and it has been over two weeks. I have chemo again on Wednesday. I hope the new nausea med helps and I am able to function better. But at least I am halfway done.

THREE DOWN THREE TO GO

This last round was interesting. I got sicker faster, harder, and longer. I talked to the doctors office and they are going to try a completely different anti nausea med next time so we will see how it goes. I did go back to work yesterday and as long as I stayed sitting down most of the time I was fine. I really enjoyed Kathy being there though. I was terrrible company though.

Another Treatment

Had chemo yesterday. The doctor said I was doing so well he upped the doses on all three chemos so we will see how that goes. I am going to work today. My big sis is coming tomorrow. Thanks for all the support. Nicholas went with me yesterday to chemo. That is sacrifice we were there for five hours.
