The thing that was the hardest for me was that my bowels, weren't working properly. I would eat something and within 5-10 minutes my stomach would cramp up something painful, and then I would run for the toilet. This made me very week and very tired and needless to say I lost 8 pounds this past week from the chemo session doctors visit to the week after check-up doctors visit. I am feeling better now, thank goodness, and the doctor said that with my type of chemo this shouldn't really be a problem. I am holding out hope that my body was just reeling from all the hospital trauma it was still recuperating from and that next time I won't have the bowel problems.
It seems funny to say but all I have the next couple of weeks to prepare for is my next chemo session is on March 19th and I will probably be shaving my head to prepare for my hair falling out. I look forward to this time that I will have to recoup and to spend time with the kids.
Jennifer, glad to hear that strength is coming to you. I signed up to help out with your kids, or bring you dinner, and no one has called me, so please know if you need or just want any help, I would love to take your little ones during the day for you. -Christine Miller
