Re: after first chemo treatment

[Guest guest]

Lynda ~

Dad does have alot of the weird symptoms I have

actually, if you listed his symptoms, not knowing

he was a man, you would think he had breast implants !

He has had tinnitis for years, and for some reason,

off and on, it is not as bad. His taste and smell has

been gone for years, and he is experiencing some

taste and smells off and on........chemo, very strange

stuff ! ! They have Dad on 100 mg of prednisone

everyday for 5 days after the chemo, but gives him

decadron the day of. It makes him hyper and shakey.

God Bless YOU Lynda ! How are you feeling

today? You are in my prayers sweet Lady !

Love you ~ DedeStart the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

Dede,

I don't know if there is any chance that chemo helps RSD, putting

more toxins in your body would seem to want to make neurological

problems worse???????????????

I will get back to the hyperbarics ASAP because that does help

neurological problems and could ward off any peripheral neuropathy

from the chemo, maybe???????????

Thanks, a, I definitely do not feel like an example to anyone

right now. I am just trying to survive with the least side effects

possible and now I have to work on getting the proper nutrition in my

body to help strengthen it as the chemo weakens it.

I feel a little weird, other than that, tired right now. I had to

take anti-nausea meds today. I did get some errands done, however,

and that felt good.

Well this is good news so far. I am glad you were able to get out

and get errands fun. I'll pray it lasts.
