Chemo #3, Day 3

Here's my stockpile of supplements and RX for nausea and stomach. A little bit, eh?


Lunch, Breakfast & Dinner
to the right


Rough morning with aches from the Neulasta shot, stomach still messed up and nausea. Lots of hot and cold situations. Too much clothes on then too little. It's a never ending battle the past few days on how to get the temperature correct. I think it is the steroids doing it.

The finale was the taste buds are going, going, gone again. Wasn't that too fast compared to the other 2 treatments? It's a challenge to find something to eat. No eat and no drink, makes fatigue and a cranky patient.
Laura is my daughter Christy's friend and lives in Pullman (east side of Washington - 5-6 hours away!). She drove over yesterday and cooked up about 30 meals at Christy's house for us. We are so blessed and in awe that this young lady would sacrifice her time to do this! Thank you, thank you Laura and Christy!

Here's a pic of us 3 with Christy's two daughters and Laura's son.


That was a lot of activitiy and company, I'm dead tired, but not tired enough to go to sleep. It sure was good to see the family!

    It was awesome to be able to come over and help out. It was a perfect weekend, and I have yet to get my head wrapped into work at all today because I'm in such a daze still from the awesome weekend. By the way, I'll do it again if needed. Don't hesitate to ask for help. Seeing you was great and I really enjoyed it!

    Love ya!
