We'll see how it goes.
I have one more round with the oxi and then a 4 week break from it. I will still get the 5fu but not on the pump. That way I still get chemo, just not the one that gives me side effects. That's when we take our vacation north for grandson's graduation party.
I'm looking forward to that break right about now. LOL
I'm seriously not stressing about all this. My mind set is that chemo is kicking major .... and I'm helping it along by doing my part with green smoothies and extra vitamin stuff. Not to mention protein drinks, fruit and vegetable juicing along with lots of fluid intake to keep flushing my system.
The few side effects that I am getting are totally manageable. Sure hubby has to handle all cold things for about 5-7 days. He's up to the task
So far I have a good week where I feel totally human, in other words no side effects. So far all I have is cold intolerance when drinking or handling stuff. And first bite.
Of all those, first bite is the worst. Very intense, bordering on painful. If I could keep nibbling on food all day, that would probably take care of it. Starts off first thing when I brush my teeth.
Any time I let time lapse before eating again, it's back with a vengeance.
But! This is temporary. It's all part of kicking cancer's ..... I look at it this way, I know it is doing something. I would be worried if I didn't have any side effects.
The nurse called me this morning when she got in just to see how I was doing. She said she thought about me all night. I told her if anything had happened, I would have gone to the ER.
I'm being very vigilant. I know my body and I know when something isn't right. I also will not take chances driving if I'm not up to it.
I love you all.
Rick and I will work something out should it be necessary. I promise!
