    Glad you felt like posting!
    So sorry that you are suffering those awful side effects but if you are stable then the chemo is helping. I just hope the side effects will disappear and that you can keep the nutrition going even though it must be hard. I know you will give it your very best and good days are ahead. Sending hugs and prayers.

    As you can probably tell, I am a newbie here. After reading the other posts I also want to say that I am glad you are stable. Sometimes that's all we can hope for. Showers are not only refreshing but life-affirming! Glad you were able to take one.

    I will continue to pray for you in your recovery!

    Hi Meena, just want to pipe
    Hi Meena, just want to pipe in and say it's good to hear from you and although the side effects are kicking your butt, you seem to be in good spirits and good hands. Oh, how I remember those showers being a lifesaver. I start a new chemo on Monday, seems I wont be able to have my hands or feet in warm water for long periods of time (hand and foot syndrome) so I will take imaginary ones. Stay strong, keep fighting, and keep us informed.
    Mountains of Love,

    Meena, so good to read your news. The fact that the treatments are working is wonderful news. Sorry you are experiencing some not so nice side effects but if that's the price for treatments working, then it's worth it, right? I know you enjoyed that shower and now you just need to rest and take good care of yourself. Post when you feel up to it. We really do miss you when you are away. Sending (((hugs))) and love your way!

    So sorry you so very sick. I was wondering. When I was on Ac they gave me a drug called Emend that I took the day before treatment the day of treatment and the day after treatment. 3 pills. This kept me from getting sick. I wonder if this would help you at all. This really kept the nausea in control. It is good to hear from you. Hope you feel better soon. Hugs
