Chemo Continues - Part Five
Last Tuesday's treatment was mostly routine. The chemo began and ended well. This time, they started a stronger nausea medicine in the IV before they finished the chemo and put the pump in. That medication really helped me to not be as nauseated as in the past! Praise! I am now struggling with the hand neuropathy. I tried to make my own turkey sandwich a few minutes ago, but had to have help because it was cold. I'm learning to use the gloves every time I get in the fridge, not just sometimes like I used to. (They're garden gloves that a sweet friend gave me who has been through this.) My legs cramped quite a bit this time. I have now developed a metallic taste in my mouth. I have been warned and expected all of these side effects, it's just one more thing to adjust to! All this could be so much worse. I truly praise the Father for sustaining me through this journey. You know this was FIVE down, and SEVEN to go! I'm almost halfway there!
