"Just the Facts"-- Very tired, slept most the day, thinking is hard, trying to find just the right liquid to drink. No chemo today.
We have been married 34 years today. We have had a great time and are still so in love with each other. I am looking forward to 34 more years! It's doable, we got married young. I was at the hospital today to see B eat both his lunch and his dinner. Although it is becoming more difficult to find something to eat that will go down and stay down, he managed on both meals. He doesn't eat a lot and really isn't hungry but it is better to have some food in the tummy to help with all those meds roaming around. He slept the rest of the time I was there, which I was very glad for. I have seen interrupted sleep so many times, that you don't know if it is day or night, your sleep schedule is all out of whack. So some good long sessions of sleep were a welcomed gift. When I say long session, that is like 2 hours at a time.
One of the chemo cocktails B was given was directed at fast recurring cells. These are in the mouth, esophagus and stomach. When these cells are killed the cells begin to sluff off. That process will begin to disturb the digestive track. So the next few days B will start declining in how he feels as the effects of the chemo begin to manifest. Nausea is already hanging just under the surface. We are watching to see what happens to his hair, but we are expecting to get a new hair do very soon. We know this just comes with the territory, so we will deal with it when it gets here. The next 2 weeks with reveal a lot of things going on with B. They will be monitoring him every day for various developments. We are hoping for good responses as the new super cells set up house in B's body.
Until next time.
Hopeful Believer
