One down, 11 to go.
I did really well the 5 days that I took the pill, then the next three days I could hardly move. My appetite was nil which was doubly bad as I have not been able to eat solid food for about a week before due to the seizures. Only today Thursday (Day 9) have I been able to step up the food. I need to try to put on about 10lb and keep it that way through the radiaton. I will be more prepared with anti-nausea meds, Miralax, and some people seems to think that exercise helps. I cannot do the horse show that I wanted to do this weekend, but I will certainly try to ride a couple of times next weeks.
While puking kept on thinking how I got through it during pregnancy so can do it now:)
I have heard that they might reduce the chemo dosage while doing the radiation. I hope so. Nobody said that this would easy, but I need to be prepared.
On a good note, I am so lucky to have some wonderful friends helping out with getting the children in and out school. And a husband who will not let me out of sight. Also flowers and chocolates arrived today, which can only be a good thing, especially to help with the weight gain:)
Two more weeks before Disney so I should be doing OK then.
Round 1 goes to KATY!!! She comes back strong with a well thought out plan for round 2. She will not accept failure. She is strong. She is a woman to inspire all women. YOU GO GIRL!!!!
ReplyDeleteKeep thinking about how much fun Disney will be. :)
