I would say the biggest change since my last post is that I have eaten more. I've actually gained 2.6 pounds in the past week! What am I eating, you ask? In the past week, I've eaten Costa Vida sweet pork salad, buttered noodles, Kimchi, pizza, restaurant Mexican, and restaurant Italian. I also enjoy tomato and orange juice.
I don't know if that list looks impressive to you or not....I eat random things when I have cravings, and I'm never sure what it will be or when. I wish I was on a more normal schedule where I was eating regular food at regular times of the day, but I am grateful to be consuming anything and grateful for cravings that are coming more frequently.
Tuesday marks the start of Chemo Round Two. I've been pleasantly surprised with the minimal side effects I experience with Round One. I pray every day that the chemo is doing what it's supposed to be doing, and that we can obliterate this disease from my body.
Thank you for your help with managing the last couple of weeks. I know your faith and prayers are helping me!
Woohoo! Hoary for real food. Your last post made me laugh. When I worked BMT several of my patients who were NPO would watch the food network and I could never understand why! Josie

It looks like the chemo is doing it right this time! Great news on the 2.6 lb.! I've heard "foodies" - people who daily post pictures of their beautiful meals - accidentally gain weight, 20-30 pounds a year! Start taking and posting pictures of your delectable dinners, luscious lunches and beautiful breakfasts! You are doing great! XXXOOO
ReplyDeleteI'm so so glad that you are able to eat more! Wish that I could be there to cook for you!
ReplyDeleteSo so happy you've been able to eat, and that this chemo, so far, has had less side effects than the first kind! We pray for you every single day! Hugs!

ReplyDeleteI always laugh that most people have a New Years goal to lose weight--and your New Years goal is to GAIN weight😂😂😂. Love it. Keep gaining;).
