Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thanks, a, Feeling pretty punk tonight, headache. The side effects are kicking in from the chemo. Next 10 days will be probably the worst, if I can avoid the thrush and the canker sores. I plan to leave on the 17th for the wedding in Missouri. Back on the 22nd. Hope and pray the thrush and canker sores do not plague me so that I am miserable.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Oh, Lynda, this is all going to end soon, it is good news that the fluid in your pleural cavity is gertting better. Honey, having your sister with you gives us all some comfort. She will be your support, and help you to get through this. We are walking beside you too, and we will continue to pray that you will be well soon. Spring is here, and all of your flowers and trees need you to love and care for them. We all love you....Lea and Superman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ did chemo today Did # 3 chemo today. Dosage was reduced to 3.4 of the regular dosage because of the loss of vision, the low white blood count and the thrush and canker sores.Doing ok tonight, By tomorrow evening I will probably be feeling much worse.I had fluid removed from my pleural cavity earlier this week, it is slowing down tremendously. It was 19 days this time. There is not as much fluid as before. I hope to never have to do it again.My sister arrived from Hawaii, drove me home from chemo, said I looked a bit peaked. I probably did.It went well, no reaction because we pre-empted the reaction by doing the treatment for the reaction prior to the treatment (half of it) and then half way through we did the other treatment for the reaction (before it happened), so we kept my body from reacting. Much better than dealing with the reaction after the fact.I had my writsts and ankles wrapped in ice packs and a cold cap on my head. My sister is going to sew up a cold cap that is more effective and easier to deal with before my next treatment. Collie helped me put all this stuff on and keep it there. She met the social worler there. We are going to take a class together there.So, barring the RSD on my foot, all is going as well as it can be. The next week to 10 days I will be fighting weakness, fatigue, nausea, constipation, and inability to eat as well as having to eat very soft foots to keep the mouth sores from happening. Nothing acid. I can sometimes get down some of my vitamins, sometimes not. I am working harder to get more of them down more often. We are working on getting regular good protein in my diet.I hope to find out more about the plan for the RSD very soon, have not heard anything.Hope everyone is doing well. It has been hard for me to keep up with everything that is happening.Love,Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 , Did not find the baking soda helped too much and it raised my blood pressure, so using the salt and soda mouth rinse and some soda on the canker sores last month. I have some new strategies for the cancer sores if they come back this month. I am on a 3/4 dose of the chemo from now on, so hope this reduces some of the overall symptoms and especially the mouth problems.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Rogene, Pretty sick tonight, going to bed very quickly. My sister is doing a lot, cooking and keeping up with stuff. I spent a lot of time in bed the last three days. Will hopefully come out of this phase in another week. Thanks for caring.
