Of meds...that is what cancer does to you.
Out of these 28 bottles 14 are prescriptions.
The rest are otc...but still very much needed at certain times.
No ........I dont take all of them at them same time...but they are all there to help combat the various side effects from the chemo that blast you from time to time.
Treatment #7 took a long time....my sweet sister in law Judy came and met me to keep me company. It does help to have some one to talk to. 7 hours is a long time to sit in the chemo room. This morning I woke up with horrible bone pain and nauesa. This chemo also burned the inside of my mouth. This has never happened to me before....but is a side effect of the Taxol.
So I called Connie (She is the phone nurse on call 24/7 at my doctors office) She called in another script for me. My mouth is shredded.....I dont know how else to describe it. It seems to be helping to heal my mouth. Makes it hard to eat or drink when the inside of your mouth is hurting.
Of course I cant really taste anything right now..... but I need to keep fluids in me. This chemo zapped me ....I am very tired. I hope I can stay awake to watch the Saints play this afternoon. I am glad I have Monday off, those three days make all the difference when it comes to recovery.
My Gracie girl brought me some red velvet cheesecake from Baileys last night...it looks divine...but I am saving it so I can taste it and enjoy it. All I could eat this morning was a shake and some jello - ugh !!!!!
I did get to skype with my hubby this morning. He said all the roads are closed for safety in Iraq due to a holiday...so he stays around the compound working on equipment.
It is a beautiful day in South Louisiana - enjoy your weekend !
