My thoughts released; a mind set free |
| Today's proving to be another rough day, but I must admit I'm feeling a little better than I did yesterday. A big part of it is the steroids I have to take during my chemo infusions. They tear up my stomach, cause insomnia, make me dizzy, and fatigued, and the effects last a day or two after I'm done taking them. I was up quite a bit during the night, but then slept in this morning until almost nine, so a decent amount of sleep. But I found myself dehydrated this morning to the point of needing to go into the hospital and having a liter of salt water pumped into me. The last chemo infusion has left me with no desire to eat, drink, or even move much. I am making myself eat, even though the food tastes off and I have no appetite, but drinking is proving to be more challenging this time around. I knew this last round of chemo was going to be the roughest one, and I'm handling it pretty well. But it's one day at a time right now, and soon I'll be feeling a bit better with each new day. I'm hoping I'll start to improve this weekend since next week is starting out busy. Monday, I have to travel to Fergus Falls to see my cardiologist because this last round of chemo has me in and out of Afib. Then on Tuesday, I have to travel to Fergus Falls again to see my VA doctor about the neuropathy. This last round of chemo has made that a lot worse as well. I will also be discussing my cancer treatments with her, since I'm now done with chemo and just doing immunotherapy. I want a referral to the cancer center in Fergus and a new oncologist to discuss where I go from here. It's been a long and miserable journey since I was diagnosed last May, but I made it through and now just hope that the cancer is gone and I can ring that damned bell! |
