I had the chemo last two days ago. The recent blood transfusion did the trick by gaining energy in me in weathering my side effects to a minimum. Still, I feel very bloated and my stomach feeling like being stretched 100 miles thin so I had been able to drink only broths, gaterade, soups, then rice pudding and noodle kugel and later chicken casserole, etc. that family members and friends have made for me and Ric (now spelled as Ric instead of Rick). Thanks to all of you who did the cooking!! I do experience other side effects but I don't think about them right now, smile.
I will have PET and CAT scans next week and hope to get good results and see how much I progressed. I will find out by 3rd week of Dec. I expect to continue my treatments until January, though. I have to thank my husband, Ric as a WONDERFUL caregiver and warrior. He has kept me going through my high and lows tirelessly. Here is the picture I use on my support group site of Cancer Survivors Network (CSN under American Cancer Society - a great group):
You have been doing so well! and it seems that you have turned the corner and are now headed into the 'home stretch."
ReplyDeleteYes, dear Ric, because your caring helped me heal well - I could never thank you enough!!
