Updating....

This past week has been chemo #4.  Each chemo session is a new experience with new symptoms.  Frustratingly I still continue to have an allergic reaction during the infusion.  Even with trying new premeds and meds during the infusion, I still experience an out of body trippy feeling and inability to speak correctly.  I have a big appreciation for my chemo nurses who have to deal with people who are 100% sick every day.  This past chemo left me with over 24 hours of diahrrea, vomiting, and nausea.  Nothing stays in so tomorrow I will go back to the cancer center for IV fluids and hopefully stronger anti nausea meds since nothing seems to be effective.  The cats have been very happy to have me in bed today.  I had all four on the bed with me; I think they know if don't feel well.  Please continue to pray for overall healing but also specifically for healing for this current inability to eat or drink and get the nutrients I need.

    HI Nancy, I'm praying for relief of your GI problems, for a peaceful quiet belly, and strength for your body and soul. Your kitties are working hard at their job :)

      Good morning, Nancy. thinking of you especially today as you endure Round 5. I think of you as a boxer, fighting the fight and pinning it down in Round 6 for a victory.
      Love you, Rhea

      Nancy, hope and pray that your GI symptoms are completely gone and you are feeling much better. Lots of rain on our side of the mountains this week and the fall colors really pop in the low light. Hello to darling Daniel and to your mom! We love you Nancy.

Tuesday-#2 infusion

Image
Tuesday was my second chemo infusion but it almost didn't happen.  My white blood cell count (WBC) had dropped from a 7 to 1.9 since the first infusion.  The decision was made to proceed with chemo but the followup with a Neulesta shot on Thursday to promote bone marrow growth.  The side effect-bone pain :(  Also, I have to become more of a hermit and avoid places with lots of people and exposure to germs.  Hard to do when I work with students and the public on a daily basis. Today I get unhooked from the chemo pump and then receive the shot.  Also, on Tuesday I experienced an allergic reaction to the chemo.  I became very sleepy but also trippy feeling, couldn't speak very well or had to concentrate on my words, and lost bladder control.  Now, I must take some pre meds before chemo and while wearing the pump to keep that from happening in the future.  So far no noticeable hair loss but found out it might take another couple weeks to show up...
