The first few days of chemo were a piece of cake. Cindy Potter came for a fun visit on Friday afternoon. And then…
Must have been Saturday the nausea and loss of appetite hit hard. Then the anti-nausea med made me sleepy. So i feel like I have lost days. Then yesterday another IV infusion (ATG) was added that does a real number on the body; it’s given with benadryl and prednisone because everyone has some reaction to it and I got a rash on my thighs – not to bad and not itchy at all. And I’ve had a constant headache for a few days. So I just don’t feel very good.
I’ve gotten my last chemo. Just have one more infusion of the ATG for several hours today. Then tomorrow I get my cells.

Hey, Fred!
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us updated...we're praying for you! I realize you can't predict how you'll be feeling day to day, but would one day look better this week than another? Cam and I want to come visit.
e-hug,
candace
I'm home from my relaxing weekend away with Lori and Bill. We had a great time and we lifted up in prayer several times. I'm sorry you don't feel well. I was hoping that maybe, just maybe, you'd skip that part of the process.
ReplyDeleteI'll check in with Rick to see if you're feeling well enough to receive phone calls.
I love you Diane.

Hi, Diane --
ReplyDeleteAlthough I've not yet commented, I'm really enjoying reading your blog. I pray for you often and with the girls too. We'll be praying about the digestive tract sores. I'm happy to read as much info as you're happy to post!
We're busy with homeschool projects, selling house projects and we're getting ready to buy some self storage units as soon as we get rid of the last 3 rentals. YEAH! It looks like an investor is going to buy all three.
Love you -- say hi to the rest of the crew.
Sheri (for Carl, Cali & Kenna, too)
