Chemo #8 was yesterday. I count each one as a milestone, and now have only four to go. We always meet with my oncologist on chemo days, and yesterday he said to have another PET scan right before my 10th chemo. That will be about August 8. Of course, looking at the PET scans is exciting, especially to see shrinking tumors. It helps to see the effects of the chemo and everything else I've been going through. I am weak and wobbly from yesterday's chemo.
I have been slowly losing weight and the oncologist wants me to actually try to gain weight which is difficult as my taste buds are not working as normal because of the chemo and therefore my appetite is less than normal. I have had to start thinking about buying new clothes as most of my clothes are now too large.
Hi! Our happy thoughts are always with you! Good health and good days! All of the very best energy we send to you! Love and hugs, Barbara & Lance
ReplyDeleteWell, good to hear there is actually a positive side to chemo -- the weight loss, I mean. However, it sounds much too severe a measure. Keeping you in my thoughts & prayers, Marilyn.
