Chemo Sucks

Well they said it was going to be hard but the reality is always so different from what you expect it to be. Yesterday was difficult due to the effects of the volume of the IP treatment into her abdomen. That, plus the fact that the side effects are starting to kick in as well. It's a lot like getting kicked in the stomach plus the fatigue, the numbness, etc.

We talked about how acceptance is key to making it through this.

Acceptance, In and Out burgers and prophylactic medications for the side effects...

Food is beginning to be an issue already. Some of her favorite things are tasting weird. She just doesn't have much of an interest in eating the last 2 days at all. But we are making her eat and drink as much as possible and trying all sorts of different things that appeal to the taste buds.

hugs and kisses...
