Chemo, the day after

I got home and went to bed. Insomnia last night from the steroids. My lower stomach is cramping from you know what and I feel really weird. I think this cycle is a little different. My upper tummy hurts and I think it might be a pain pill kind of afternoon. I could not keep my breakfast down. Coffee was a bad idea, and JoAnn I hate to say it but I might have to give it up. This morning I am trying to pull it together, Ridley needs to go to the vet and I want to take him. I am changing vets because the vet I loved started her own practice. Dr. Amy is the bomb. Then I will come home and evaluate me. My stomach just blew up a few days ago and dr. C said it was the tumors. Weird Because the ca125 the same but I hope it is fluid. He did not think so... We will see. When my stomach swells I can't bend over, I can't wipe my ass, I need help Getting dressed. It sucks and I feel helpless. Ok well, I have to bathe and get ready to take Rid. Hope everyone has a great day and I hope my tummy gets better.
Peace

  1. Ellen, sorry you have had such a shitty few days. There really are no words. What next....could be neuropathy, which is now my now constant "companion". Has anyone talked to you about this? It comes mostly from taxol, I believe. Do not know if that is one of your chemo drugs.

    I was just online looking for low-acid coffee and plan to order some soon.

    Thinking of you and hoping your tummy problems improve.
