I wake a little later to someone stroking my head. It is my friend Shanon and she has been furiously cooking and baking all day and has brought me some dinner and dessert. Shanon is a good friend. Very nurturing and caring. Unfortunately, I am in no condition to eat as round two of nausea kicks in. I spend about a half hour throwing up again and feeling completely wasted. Then it is back to bed. I sit and try to pinpoint exactly how it feels to be on chemo. “Not good” is the first thing that comes to mind. I feel like my blood pressure is slightly raised, my mind won’t settle down, yet my body is completely fatigued and begging for sleep. I’m not in any pain, but I have a general feeling of discomfort about me. I can’t wait to get through all of this and get on with my life. I am taking Zofran, but it doesn’t seem to help. I doze in and out and throw-up a few more times. Late in the evening, I have another visitor. My Mother-in-Law has flown in from Michigan to visit me, and she is bearing gifts. Here are some great breast cancer gifts.
