Round 2
So in my usual fashion I am approaching round 2 as a project and I intend on improving my failing mark from round 1 .
My pre chemo appointment was long as we had so much to review from round one . In the end my nausea meds were changed , I had an X-ray that confirmed constipation so more meds added , and they extended my steroids from 1 days post chemo to 4 days and added a litre of extra fluid to get with chemo all with the hope of better symptom control.
Chemo went well , I drank and had a snack and a snooze ! thanks to Emily for the ride !
So far day 2 and 3 have been good . Just took meds for nausea x one , constipation seems to be subsiding and I am drinking more and actually feeling hungry and eating a bit more . Emily is keeping close track of meds and Ken is keeping the water glass full so the team is getting a better mark this go around !
Thanks to all of you for your well wishes ,emails, phone calls cards and Facebook messages I really appreciate them . I was just to sick to reply last week so will get back on track this week !
Take care no Happy May long weekend ! go Oilers !
