Hungry Hungry.....

I need to begin this post by extending a huge "Thank You" to everyone whether you provided a ride, or food or did some work for us or sent a card or letter or commented on the blog or simply prayed for our family.  Your help, encouragement and prayers have been much appreciated and needed at times. So again "Thank You"!

Today is Tuesday 6 days post chemo.  Tuesday has typically been my turn around day however today felt a little different.  One thing Chemo does to me is creates a large dose of nausea.  In chemo I get a med that pretty much masks the nausea through Sunday. Beginning Monday and after it's a balance of anti nausea meds and food.  Food tends to make my stomach feel better and since meds are once every 8 hours i'm eating at minimum every hour of the day.  I wasn't even finished with dinner tonight and Leah asked when I would need food next.  That ended up being a short 45 minutes before the tummy became rumbly.  I don't like eating constantly and so I am eagerly looking forward to enjoying 2 or even 3 meals a day instead of roughly 20.  

Normally it would be another 9 days before going back to Lemmen Holton. Since my chemo got pushed back a week early on in the process of chemos my doc appointments stayed in the same time slot.  It is very difficult to reschedule appoints with doctors, especially my doctor who practices 1 day and cancer clinical trails every other day.  This means Thursday I see my Oncologist for the first time since the very beginning of my journey.  The main question I have is when I will recieve my next scan. During my previous cancer journey, they would do a scan after treatment number 6 which will be just 2 treatments from now.  I would rather know what the mass is doing intead of just blasting it with chemo and then guessing what's going on.

So until Thursday....
