Just a quick note before I go off for my second chemo. I'm doing okay. I had a good day yesterday - still shedding like a maniac, very little fuzz left up there. I worked my 1/2 day both Monday & Tuesday, Monday in the office, and Tuesday from home - and especially Tuesday was very productive. That felt good. Yesterday I learned that before the Chemo today, I see Dr. R, the medical oncologist. Apparently Nurse E told me this and I missed it. I'll be meeting with Dr. R before every Chemo. I took my Decadron last night at 10:00 (way past my new "normal" bedtime) and at 5:00 am this morning (just slightly earlier than my new "normal" wake up time). My daughter called to check on me yesterday. V is dropping me off at the Cancer Center, H is dropping by to visit with me there after her own doctor's appointment, and David will pick me up. I am feeling well loved and supported.
Tonight is my office holiday dinner. Nurse E thinks I'll be very ready to eat from all the steroids. If nausea stays at bay, I would agree with her.
Now I'm off to find something to eat so I can take my morning magnesium.
All is well with me. Now if we could just have world peace, address global warming, eliminate poverty and aids, and enjoy equality and justice everywhere.
Peace.
LA--It was good to have some time together this morning, even if it was driving in to the Chemo center...
ReplyDeleteAlso, I thought the buzz cut gave you a kind of hip vibe!
Hope today isn't too bad. Two down!

I tried to call this evening on my way to a meeting with Rabbi A. but there was no answer - you must have made it to the dinner. Hooray! I hope you ate like a horse. I completely agree with V. about the hip vibe thing!
