Treatment #1's Aftermath

Oh My!!!  I have never felt so awful in my life.  Right after I posted my last entry, it went all downhill fast.  I started having chills, running a fever, and then the nausea hit!  As soon as it all started I called the doctor's office.  They told me what meds to take.  Well, I guess the anti-nausea pill was too late.  I was vomiting about every 30 minutes until midnight.  I called the doctor back, he called in a prescription for a suppository since I was keeping anything down.  The first one didn't seem to help.  The second one must have or there just wasn't anything left because I didn't vomit from about midnight until eight the next morning.  I got up.  Boy, was I weak.  I couldn't make it across the house without having to sit down.  I ate a little toast and some water.  It didn't stay down for long.  I slept in between trips to the bathroom.  I did have to go back to the doctor to get my shot for the bone marrow/white blood cell.  They checked me over and asked if I wanted to stay and get some fluids thru IV.  I declined.  My mother-in-law was with me and we had dropped off the kids at my sister's office.  I didn't really have the option of spending 2-3 hours there for fluids.   They said that with my next treatment we would do different anti-nausea drugs and hopefully this will not happen again.  I vomited only 2 more times that afternoon and then I just felt like I had "morning sickness" the rest of the evening.   Today, the nausea is gone, but I still feel very weak.  I'm sure it's a combination of not eating and the chemo drugs wearing me down.  

So that's how my weekend started.  I will be praying that next time this will not happen.  It was terrible!!!!

I didn't even get to eat the awesome dinner that was brought over.  But my family enjoyed it.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers.  I'm so blessed to have all of you in my life.

God is Good,
