As you may have noticed, I haven't been online in a while. That's because I've been sicker than a dog since last week. For all of you who know our dog, think sicker than Lucy after she's eaten a pound of Valentine chocolate and I've induced vomiting with a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide, sick. I'm pretty much a GI mess. It has been extremely difficult and basically my entire gastro-intestinal tract feels as if it has been obliterated. So, what does it mean? Well, for one it means some pretty nasty issues, that I really don't want to spell out in public. For two, it means I don't feel my body or mind can handle another round of chemo at this point.
We've got a call in to my oncologist for an appointment to discuss options. I have no idea what "options" there may be at this point. I'm scheduled to have 3 more chemo treatments between now and January 25, and I just can't do one more right now. Do I postpone? Do I stop? If either, what will that mean for my prognosis? I don't have any answers at this point. Will have to update more after I get in for a consultation.
I'm not planning on doing the December 14 round though.
Is medicinal marijuana legal in NC; is it an option for you? I hear it's really good at easing the pain of chemo!
