Man chemo is really starting to kick my backside, I wish it could just end today. I am weak and everything is always hurting.

Whilst I have not had to suffer it's travails directly, I did nurse my wife through hers, so I can sympathise very deeply.

How's the nausea now? For Michelle that was the worst thing, for she so hated to vomit. The oral drugs they gave us didn't really help but the injectable stuff did - the intravenous that was delivered during the chemo was very good indeed, so I fed her as much as I could on those days to keep her strength up.

Of course, your reactions are going to be different to hers and so much depends on what the primary chemo drug is? She had Cisplatin.
 
Been at work for 2 and half hours and all I can think about is what do I want for dinner tonight. Do I keep to my healthy regime of steamed vegetables with some form of protein, or do I have a night off and grab a take away.

But then, if I go for takeaway do I choose, burger, pizza, chinese or curry. Man I hate decision making ;)

Congrats on your decision to eat healthier. It doesn't take long before the amount of money spent on junk-food cravings can add up to a noticeable monthly expense. Now days, even the drive through combo-meal can cost $7 or more. I've decided to use the money that I would have normally spent cumulative each month on the fast-foods, on nice sit down restaurants like a steak house instead. The drive past the fast food places in my daily commute has become easier now when I can say to myself, "Nope - I'm holding out for that steak dinner!" :s136:
 
Glad it is Friday why I have no ideal, seems every single day are the same. Doctors, medicines and trying to run my school. All I really want is a full time job instead of chemo and doctors.

Old habits are hard to break.
Just hang in there!
 
What kind of....

Oh, never mind. :D


I am mad.
Not sure at whom though:
Mad at myself for not checking the pot before I went on to heat the chili for lunch, or the moron who left the empty pot on the stove....I think it will be the latter. :)
