Late Post for Thursday

Sorry folks, I fell asleep last night before I could finish my post. I blame it on the drugs!

Thursday morning I woke up with nausea and it was with me all day (hence the drugs). It’s was not debilitating, but it made for a challenging day…feeling yucky and tired. I also experienced a new side effect tonight - hiccups!!! When googling how to stop them Jon discovered that hiccups are a known side effect of some anti nausea drugs and steroids used with cancer patients. Mine only lasted about 10-15 minutes, but the article says they could last for hours.

The radiation treatment was uneventful. #19 completed (only six left).

It was a short day for chemo, in and out in 2 1/2 half hours. It would have been shorter but they were fussing on the type and dose of anti nausea drugs to infuse prior to the chemo meds.

On a different note… we spent a couple hours talking with a couple (Jean and Ruben) who we met a few days ago. They have an apartment in the same building are from Okemos, Michigan. Ruben is also a patient here with has cancer and has been going through radiation (post surgery). We spent a nice evening getting to know them and their journey, as well as sharing ours.

The photos are views from the window in my Chemo treatment room. Nice views!
