Hi Friends,
Today I am able to cut back on the meds, although I'm not leaving the coach. That's ok, though - I so look forward to having a day with no medications in my body and see if I can feel more like myself. Other side effects have started (mouth sores, nose bleeds...who knew?) although they too are under control. I'm not sure how much you want to know about that happens to a body undergoing chemo, but I'll tell you what I can without getting too graphic.
Oh wait...Catherine has just made me the best smoothie in the world. Ahhh...
Love,
Kip
Hi Kip, Week 1 is over! How's the nausea today? Better, I hope. Do the anti nausea drugs give you side effects and is that why you're so keen to cut back on them?
ReplyDeleteHugs to all, love K
Hi Kip, I'm Kathy's sister, Janet. Although I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you yet, I feel that I know you somewhat through Kathy and Jules, and they speak ever so highly of you. You're in my thoughts and prayers and I look forward to our eventual meeting. J.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you Janet, and yes, hopefully we will meet sometime soon. I've heard a lot about you as well, some wonderful stories. Welcome to the blog...and yes, Kathy, the nurse was telling me today about some of the side effects today as she was encouraging me to get off them. I could tell she was trying to not freak me out but be as firm as she could be. Her name is Lindsay and she is absolutely fantastic. Whatever I need, well, she's there. Amazing care. K
ReplyDeletehi kip--i just noticed today that most of my comments haven't been showing up. perhaps i need to sign in? in any case, i had written that i think it's up to you whether or not you give graphic details...you could always give readers a warning in case people are particularly squeamish. but i agree with abbie that it's actually helpful to know. lots of love, sammi
