The Side Effects I been feeling so far: Tried as hell ... Nauseous ... & Diarrhea (If you do not want to know the truth of chemo dont read a blog written by someone who is enduring it). Learning to sleep and rest is a new adventure to me. As I hate feeling like a bum, I always been hard working. and not eating cause everything tastes like cardboard, metallic, or gravy.
Everyone wishes they can help, which I am beyond grateful for. But alot of this I have to fight on my own. There is no switch to turn on and off on days that I am busy to feel "good" and feel bad when it is convenient. Heck that is just how life is.
My Dad has been feeling bad cause I got sick and he retired. But I look at it this way if I can get through this first year of owning DQ on top of battling this disease I think that will entitle me to some super powers! What doesnt kill me only makes me stronger is only way I am looking at this right now.
My last chemo treatment will be August 21st, 2017 and I will have the effects in my system for a while after that. So the new healthy Jenn will debut right around Septemeber-ish and hopefully some curly, thick hair to go with the attitude!
Stay tuned for more!
You are a strong woman and I know you got this. Dave hated the way food tasted too. You will find something that won't taste like that. Dave was chilli, ham steak,porkchops and his sweets was pineapple upside down cake and kit kats. Love you sissy.
