I have been reading some of your posts. I think once you get over this you should collect some of these and put it into a book as your journey. A lot of times cancer patients love to read about someone else's journey. I did, I read a diary by a breast cancer survivor and it was nice. Maybe even write down all the little frustrating and funny things that happen when you first learn to empty the colostomy bag, must be something to write about , huh? I guess I am assuming today you got your intravenous chemo, or is it just pills. I do remember the headache after the chemo. My biggest discomfort was the scalp the whole time. What is the worse part for you? By the time you read this it's middle of the night or the next morning. I hope the headache is gone. I too had to learn to slow down. My afternoon naps became so sacred. I got really cold while the chemo was running. How was it for you? I also had to learn to eat smaller portions the first days after the chemo. The anti nausea meds worked great. Although I didn't have to take a pill for it, it was mixed into the chemo solution I believe. You know what I looooved, were Thai soups, after the chemo, maybe because they have ginger and they help settle the stomach. Tell me if you have any. You know the fun is just starting. Some people smoke pot to help with the nausea. There is a show "Desperate Housewives" , yeah I am sure you don't watch it, there was an episode where one of the wives was going through chemo and she was sooo sick, and wouldn't smoke pot, so a friend put it in a cookie, and then she was happy. No I didn't have to resort to pot!!! I had forgotten the site name, until the recent email from Janet. I have been reading some of your posts.
