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.

Better in Some Ways

So this tme has been a little easier as far as the nausea goes so the medicine must be working. The problem this morning is I get really dizzy if I get up and walk or move very much and my heart starts racing then I feel like I am going to pass out. My head is busting open also but no nausea...

And So It Begins

I went walking this morning with Bev and my mom. I had to have Kay come pick me up. I have rested some so I am going to try and go to work. We will see how long that lasts. Love the Chemo.

Doctors Appointment

I went to see the oncologist today. Everything is fine. He gave me a different prescription for nausea so hopefully this will work a little better. Tomorrow is Chemo #2. Soooo excited. My mom is coming down on Wednesday so that will be nice to have her here to help. (Hopefully she will be bored and clean my kitchen cupboards.) Shhhh don't tell her I said that.
