Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Tough weekend

A limp dishrag had more zip than I did last weekend. I had serious nausea and major fatigue. On Friday night and Saturday the only thing that got me out of bed was guilt that I was still in my 'jammies at 3 in the afternoon. Sunday was a little better with the dog getting walked in the afternoon but not too much else. Sandy is making me drink those yukky meal replacement shakes because I'm eating so little. Today (Monday) was much better and I got some of the chores done including getting Jess to her lessons. The afternoon nap was still more mandatory than optional. Still the trend is good.

What caused all of that? I'm betting the chemo therapy is the culprit. I didn't have any bad reactions on the first treatment three weeks ago but still it's the sort of thing that is suppose to happen when they pump that stuff in me. Hopefully the cancer is having as bad a time as the rest of me is.

    I think that the cancer likely IS having as tough a time as you have this round. Hang in there. I am praying for you, for strength to endure this round of treatment, and that the chemicals will do their job!
