Wow, I can't believe it's been over a week since I left an entry. Well let's get caught up. Last week was another really rough week, chemo then that time of the month...aauugghh! The roughest part of my chemo week actually comes after the pump is dc'd (disconnected). The nausea is at times unbearable even with all the anti-nausea drugs. The other side effects that are rough are the stomach cramping and at times the diarrhea. I cling to the verse Philippians 4:13 "I can do everything through him who gives me strength". I saw my Oncologist on Monday and he switched up my meds again. He was concerned about the side effects and the length of time I am sick when I have my chemo. I pray that these new ones will do the trick. The funny thing is when I read the side effects of the new anti-nausea drugs I will be taking next week, it stated that nausea was one of them. Go figure! Oh, also hair loss...let me see...nausea or hair loss???? I have been feeling alittle better everyday this week. I get tired easily and my appetite is not quite up to what it used to be. I am still at 14 lbs lost and I still have my hair (so far). Thanks again for all the help that we received from last week with meals , childcare and housework! We really love and appreciate you all! Brooke was awarded AB honor roll this morning at school during the award ceremony. We are very proud of her. Kelly almost made it but due to some bad choices when it came to completing some assignments she did not. Troy being in Kindergarten received all S's. Way to go Troy! Hard to believe school is out in 9 weeks.
