Sort of Normal Today....

I am finally feeling better today, except for chest pains brought on by acid re-flux. The chemo effects my stomach, and my intestines along with just about everything else in my body. So instead of the throwing up (which I am sooooo glad I haven't done, yet) I have chest pains whenever I swallow. It feels like I am having a heart attack. But I know I'm not. I went to the MSTI clinic yesterday and got a prescription for prilosec and zantac. It helps a little. Within a few days it is supposed to help quite a bit. I hope so, because I would love to eat without having a "coronary" every time I swallow something.

My neuropathy is still bothering me, but it is getting a little better every day. I'm sipping on a cold pop right now, and as long as I just sip... it doesn't bother me much except a little tingling in my lips and tongue. I should be able to eat ice cream, maybe by tomorrow.

I am so glad I only have one more treatment. I'm not sure my body could take many more doses of this potent stuff. But really I have nothing to complain about. It could be so much worse. And in 3 weeks I am going to have my CAT scan, where they miraculously won't be able to find a single cancer cell in my body :). Because my Father in Heaven knows that it isn't time for me to be with him yet. I have sporting events to attend for the next 10 years (at least).I have sons who are going to need me to tell them whether they have picked the right girl. I have daughters that need me there to help them get ready for Prom, and weddings, and make sure their husbands are treating them like queens. I have lots of grand babies in the future that are going to need a grandma. And I have a husband who would be lost without me. I can't go anywhere. Not for at least 40 more years. No negotiations.
