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.

Side effects

This week my sister from San Fran and I and the kids went to see my dad in Edmonton. Too bad it turns out this is the week all the side effects they warn about, show up. The worst is mouth sores that makes it hard to talk, let alone eat. Soup is as good as I can do right now. But that's not a problem as my stomach is not happy either. "Rot gut" the doctor called it. Seems appropriate. Of course there's a pill for that.

All in all I'm sleeping a bunch waiting for these things to pass. Did a muga scan yesterday and will see the doctor again next Tuesday. He'll be deciding if I can stay on this chemo or not.

Love
Carolin

    Sorry to hear the chemo is being so hard on you. Let's hope it has scared those cancer cells into submission as well as it has your appetite. I hope you can sleep through the worst of it and wake up in a day or two feeling better.
    Thinking of you all the time, Rebecca

    Hi Carolin,
    I just got back from vacation and had to check in with you. I am sorry that eating is a problem for you...and even worse...talking! Back on the club soda eh? Here is hoping that things are on the mend again this week and that your balance is being restored. Still thinking of you lots.
    xox...Barb B.
