So I didn't post for multiple reasons. First, my arm is still recovering (and looking good if I say so myself! I put my earrings on for the first time in weeks, maybe months all by myself)! Next, it was the holidays and well, even for those who don't have shopping lists up to their knees, christmas cards to send out, holiday cookies to make, and cancer to fight off, it's a tough time of year! After 5 days from my treatment, I had HORRIBLE nausea and vomitting. Horrible. Today I went for my 1st cycle, 2nd treatment and Dr. Rohatgi said that it was way too late for that to have been from the chemo. He said I must have caught the flu because I should have been sick 1-2 days from chemo, not 5 days out. My tumor marker was high again, but he assured me that the chemo would bring it down. I also talked with him about my rapid weight loss and he prescribed me something for my appetite. I SURE HOPE IT works!! I've lost 80.8 lbs down from the start, and honestly, I don't have a whole lot more I want to lose!! Okay....it can stop anytime now.
I will let you all know in a day or two how my nausea and voitting are going :) Last time, there wasn't a problem at all. And on day 5, hopefully I won't mysteriously come down with the "flu" again!
Peace to you all <3 Love, Genie
