3 months down

It has now been 3 months since my diagnosis. (Happy 3 month CD to me, happy 3 mth CD to me...)

Went to chemo with Emmy Hopson last week. Was nice spending time talking with her. She gets the "firehose" meds, I get the "faucet drip" - so I sat there much longer.
I asked to forgo the benadryl, the fun of the "benadryl buzz" has worn off. They still had to give it to me, so I slept a good bit of the "drip" time.

Got a new drug, "Emend" to curb the puking. It is over $400 for 3 pills! It's major side effect is nausea - go figure. Anyway, I didn't puke, but was unable to think or concentrate for several days, + couldn't sleep. (Try not sleeping and not thinking!)

Starting to feel a bit better. I think the acupuncture today gave me added strength. I went into work after my LAMC blood letting. It was nice seeing everyone - for a little while. (Don't know how I did it daily before!) The hardest part was wallking up the stairs to the second floor - did it twice. I probabaly needed the workout.

In case anyone is wondering, I have not lost much weight and my appetitie is pretty good. I lost a little weight after the surgery, and have stayed steady since.

Thanks to all you nice folks who give me and my family your thoughts and prayers and to those who have brought food.
