chemo

When I spoke with the Dr he said I’d have 4 rounds of one drug. 3 weeks of another. First date is this Wednesday 2/14.

Thats the first of 16. Four treatments is a round. Not what I was expecting. I ending up freaking out and sleeping a 3 hour stress nap.

Strangely enough when I awoke, about 10 minutes later I received a phone call from my credit union stating there was fraud. During the call alarm bells went off. Things he was was saying weren’t like other calls I’ve received. I told him these are things you should know as an employee he didn’t say anything. When I said I’ll call back he hung up mid sentence. I called the CU and they confirmed no fraud was on my account. She helped me change several things to further protect our accounts.

Very strange day. My husband was hoping to take vacation days and take me. It’s not going to happen. Not all of them.

Liter before the cancer diagnosis we were days away from putting our house up for sale and move from GA to AZ. My chemo schedule goes through June. Possibly July with the other 3 weeks he mentioned.

This delay is another stress heap on top of the other 2 today. I will get through this it’s just all a bit daunting at this moment

I start my first round 2/14/24. I have a cooler, blanket, sleep mask, tumbler for water. I’ve ordered anti nausea bracelets and ice packs for my hands and feet. Is there something else that you brought that you’d suggest?

Jeez I woke up to neuropathy burning and stiffness in my body I guess I take Tylenol on top of vitamin b and pain pill today I am guessing this is going to happen after every single chemo treatment I am not liking this part I already have joint pain anyway! Lord help me! I am going to fight it though and work on my pile of coloring for people. And listen to my music that's all that can get me through this. #ovarian cancer #chemo neuropathy

I couldn’t do it. Literally, I did not have the strength to lift Kylie up. I had been struggling recently, feeling weak and having numbness on one side of my body and then on the other. I was doing a little physical therapy for that, but had just started a new job that required a lot of traveling so I kind of dropped the ball on therapy. Doctors didn’t know what was wrong so I just did what I do — I pushed on. Some might say I was burying my head in the sand or shoving the issue under the rug. Maybe I was. Maybe I was hiding from it all.
