I had a chemo treatment yesterday. Actually, they started it at 10:30 Monday night which ran until 2:30 Tuesday morning. Ick, is all I have to say. There is nothing more miserable than waking up to that "chemo" sickness. Anyone that is reading this and has had cancer with chemo treatments knows what I am talking about. Nausea is OFF. THE. CHARTS. and you simply feel CRUMMY! Right before I started chemo my daddy (who is a stage 4 bladder cancer survivor of 6 years! whoop whoop!) said to me "Em, there will be days that you simply DO. NOT. CARE. ABOUT. ANYTHING! I MEAN: NOTHING! And that's okay because those days will pass." Boy, was he soooo right! "Chemo" days, this ole gal doesn't care about ANYthing! It's all I can do to carry on a conversation. I told my husband that I am soooo not used to this "sick" feeling. I can count on ONE hand how many times I have actually been SICK in my lifetime---praise the Lord!! BUT!!!
TODAY IS A NEW DAY!!!
I woke up feeling refreshed. I slept 6 hours last night (which is truly something in the hospital as the nurses must come in every hour to check my vitals, give me meds, etc..., etc...) :0) Nausea is near to none and I have some energy! Thanking the good Lord for answering our prayers.
I hope everyone is enjoying the "break" from the CUH-RAZY heat we've had lately! I'm hoping I MIGHT get to go home tomorrow and enjoy some of it.
3 down, 5 to go!!
Blessings!!!
