Round 5

I went for Chemo cocktail infusion round 5 on Thursday. Round 5!! Only one left - thank goodness!

I was fairly well rested as I took the xanax as per my previous post, so the infusion itself was not too bad. And super bonus for me - I only felt mildly woozy instead of that awful so called "high."

Friday also went pretty well until the evening. It seems as if your digestive track just stops working. I was hungry and had lunch (the very delicious Chick-Fil-A Grilled chicken and fruit salad - I'm telling you it is FABULOUS!!) and that was fine. Dinner I was hungry too but only ate half of a hamburger and half of a baked potato and had to stop. The nausea had begun to build.

Disgusting long story short - about an hour or so later - contents ejected violently upward. Repeatedly. My throat still hurts and I was fighting my own saliva being too much for me to handle all night long. I feel a little better this morning. Tired, not rested at all - it IS kind of hard to sleep when you feel that way and besides I have to take a prescription every 6 hours which kind of cuts your day into strange pieces...

So I had a cup of weak tea, 3 bites of banana, and a tapioca this morning. The tapioca I ate half of, put back in fridge and ate the other 1/2 about 30 minutes later. Trying to hydrate and I know I am going to have to really watch my energy level today!!!

On the positive - oh my friends - this is a day above ground and those are always good, good, GREAT!!

Just wanted to let you know I am alive and kicking, fighting like a girl as rj has directed me!!!

love to all
