Day 9 - The Chemo Party is over

So it's been a while since I've blogged. As you can guess it's because things have not been going too well. I stopped eating for the most part around day 4 or 5 and am still trying to recover from that. I think I kept telling myself that if I could get through the nausia for a little while longer that it would be better and I would eat then. Instead, not eating made everything so much worse. Finally yesterday with Adrienne's help I started to eat a few bites here and there all day. And today I had a Boost for breakfast. I think I'm starting to regain some energy. It's hard to even describe how I feel. I'm tired yet when I take the steroids which are supposed to boost my nausia drugs I feel like I'm crawling out of my skin. I'm weak and light headed from not eating, my ears are ringing from the chemo and I just generally don't feel well. I think next cycle I may have to try some different nausia drugs or maybe some other "medicinal" cures. I'll try anything!

Thank you to my inlaws for bringing me boost and vitamin water, to our friends who came by to have breakfast with Adrienne when she couldn't leave her sickly husband, to our friends who have brought food and again anything else. And thank you to Adrienne for just everything. I think as this goes on Adrienne will either be blogging herself or writing in my blog so that people don't have to wait a week to find out how we're doing. To anyone who has called or emailed and received no response, I apologize. I'll try to touch base with some of you in the next few days. And thanks again for all the messages, etc.
