Ad Nauseam

     Just a quick update... 
    
     I am so thankful my last chemo was a week ago Thursday! I have had much more nausea this time around.  I have been laying VERY low this week because of the nausea. The inside of my mouth is peeling and is very sore. Toast, my food of choice during chemo, doesn't feel too comfortable for the next week or so. Hopefully, these issues will soon subside.
 
Food and water taste terrible so in seven to ten days, I'm hoping I will get to enjoy food and drinks again!  It's the little things that count a lot now...like good tasting food!  :-) 
 
     I have a Herceptin infusion tomorrow morning so after that I will get a bag of IV fluids. The fluids usually helps me feel a bit better.
 
     Next Wednesday, I see my Radiology Oncologist, Dr. Foster. We will begin planning for my six to eight weeks of radiation which may begin in October. And so, another new venture begins next week for me...

  1. I hope you are feeling better. You will conquer this adventure too! Godspeed! Can you believe we have 41 rooms of kindergarten students? Crazy it just never stops! We are surely missing you! Take care.
