First of all, my lovely flowers are still thriving! They are beautiful purple and make me smile, so thank you again. Well, today I seem to have some energy, I have so much nausea and seem to throw up every day. I still have the blood clot and I am becoming a pro at giving myself the needles in my stomach. I never thought that i would be able to do that. We had our taxes done last night and we are getting a refund, so that is good news. Not sure what to do with the money, a few days away is definitely on the agenda and a steak dinner out! I am hoping that all of you are feeling well, my next chemo is on Tuesday so I will be hunting for a good book to read. Love to all

    Glad you have some energy, but, so sorry that you have the nausea.

    Do they know Meena when the blood clot might disappear?


    You deserve a steak dinner and anything else you want. Thanks for posting Meena. You have been in my thoughts and prayers.

    Meena, as many know - I had a very difficult time
    with chemo (I am sure many of sick of my writings about it) .. so what I found that helped with my chronic fatigue, and how wbc counts is the following:

    red meats
    tuna salads or sandwiches - 1 bite at a time
    raisins on top of my oatmeal
    raw almonds

    I truly hope you regain your strength, and energy - quickly.

    So good to hear from you, Meena

    Thank you for keeping in touch with us Meena. We care about you.

    My hat's off to you Meena!!
    I couldn't read during chemo, my attention was just not there.

    Good for you on the tax refund, I love that... I think I got enough
    back for plane ticket home. SOMEONE is VERY excited.

    Are you drinking ginger tea? It worked wonders for me. Hope
    you will get even more energy soon.

    So glad you are managing those shots in the stomach. I don't know how you do it ... but I guess it's like everything else most of us have experienced ... we ARE a LOT stronger than we ever thought we were. But still ... not many of us had to endure giving ourselves shots in our stomachs. Hope the nausea stops ... and that you'll be able to enjoy your refund and a steak dinner sounds like a good plan to me. Enjoy!

    hugs.

    Happy to hear from you!
    So glad you have a little more energy today and since your refund supports a few days away and a steak dinner--that's more good news. So sorry about the nausea, it is hard one to deal with and try to keep going as well. Think of you often and pray for you too.
