Monday, Labor Day, my week off. I plan on directing this week. Its been a strange couple of days. Like I told you fatigue is present early evenings so by 9 PM I am asleep. I ate awful yesterday and I feel guilty. Gotta get back to real, natural raw foods. I ate gluten all day and my feet feel the pain. That must be the reason the ball of my left foot is so sore I can hardly walk! Top of my head still sore, hair falling out, cant believe I still have some. Still taking nausea meds, still have not thrown up. Weight is up about 179. I am blaming the steroid for how good I feel, Doc said dont be on a diet now. Added a little olive oil back into my diet, some salmon, but too much sugar. Mango cake in the house, not good. Leaving for the club soon, they can have it for breakfast and all day.
I dont expect any changes. Happy Labor Day. I get to play with Frany today. I am happy. Sunday is the first benefit at the club. Still feels strange to collect money for me. Ugh......

Hi Jeanni,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you're still feeling good after your first few sessions of chemo. I know this is a tough journey - and a journey that certainly isn't in a straight line. One day you're sitting pretty and the next you're flat on your ass! But it is a journey and step by step you will get through it.
A friend of mine who is one year out from pancreatic cancer (4% live one year) told me that it was easy to get overwhelmed by the enormity of the whole situation. But dwelling or worrying about what might happen really doesn't do you any good. He said what helped him stay in the moment when fears crept in was to actually talk to himself. Like "Here I am washing the dishes." Or "I'm here driving to the bridge club." And the more he tried it, the easier it got to stay in the moment.
Have fun. Enjoy your week off. We're all cheering you on and praying for good outcomes!

Thanks Candy, I have a bridge club filled with survivors. Who knew??? I will be joining the ranks.
