Geri Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Well I'm still on the green side of the sod, walking through mud some days (thanks for that fatigue description TracyD) but all in all okay. I've given up trying to find the pill that will get rid of the nausea, they either haven't worked at all or made me semi comatose and still nauseous when I was awake! I now just eat my way through the day, as long as I keep my stomach fairly full I do better.........problem is I can't get used to the idea that a SMALL snack will do and keep on eating FULL meals instead My increased tonnage is as annoying as my bald head but at least I'm waking up every day Only two more tx and then it's on to radiation in the new year so hopefully the nausea will be over by Christmas and I can enjoy my food with no mouth sores or "enhanced" flavors...I'd forgotten how awful water tastes during chemo Now, end of pity party, no more whining today......Kasey you can only wring your hands very briefly....onward and upward, I'm thinking of you all. Take care Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.C. Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hello Geri, Just putting my nose in did you try *Transderm Scop* the travel patch for nausea....... at east it is outside the body and never know it may work. Best to you Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laban Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 It's wonderful hearing from you Geri. I'm so sorry you're feeling crappy, but happy to know you're still hanging in there with your wonderful humor and love of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley (MLC) Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Hi Geri, I'm thinking of you and hope you start feeling better soon. There are WAY too many good things to eat in the next couple months. Shelley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don M Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I am glad to see you hanging in there Geri. Your post speaks to humor and I did not see too much pity stuff there. Soon you will be able to grow hair and shed tonnage. "Well I'm still on the green side of the sod"... that sounds kind of Irish. I think I will use that phrase the next time someone asks me how I am doing. don m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
