I finished my first complete round of my new chemotherapy today! Due to the fluids and drugs they gave me, I have a bit more energy this evening, but my appetite is still a complete loss. I lost four pounds since last Wednesday, and got many lectures today at the hospital about eating more and drinking more fluids.
I can honestly say that the side effects of the first two treatments this round were better than I expected. I'm not sure what to expect from the one I had today. I start up again in thirteen days, and I'm hoping to have some appetite back by the first part of next week.
Let me know if you have any great ideas about what I should be doing with my time the next thirteen days....it's hard to fill the long hours without a schedule.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers! I really believe they help me.
Hi Friend, ideas to spend your time, have a milkshake or smoothie, see Star Wars again because it's fun to pick up on things you didn't notice the first time. Play the piano. Water color painting and/ or do boondoggle. :) hope these ideas spark something fun for you. We love you. Best Wishes from the Fishes.
