It’s been a couple weeks, now over a month into treatment. My most hated question – how is treatment going? I haven’t quite figured out how to answer this question. Treatment is not fun – surgery for port placement, needles living in me 5 days a week, two infusions per day (2-4 hours), nausea almost every day, random fevers/chills/sweats, joint pain, muscle weakness and fatigue. That’s treatment – not pretty or fun, so how should I answer? I know they only ask because they care but what answer can I give without sounding like I’m complaining or making them uncomfortable. The best I have come up with is “as we’ll as possible”. Suggestions are welcome.
Treatment by IV is so much better than pills because I can mostly eat again 🙂 I am also very glad that I pushed for a port – every weekend I get to take normal showers – you can’t imagine how amazing a regular shower feels twice a week!
I am back to the gym – trying to get back to normal function for me. Being careful as each time I tend to hurt my port site by trying a new upper body something. It is nice to be out of the house and be back in the gym.
Nathan had to fly to California for work this week so, not allowed to be aline, my parents are flying in. I’m so excited to see them 🙂
Currently having round two of Myers infusion – will be continuing bi-weekly. It kicks my immune system into hyperdrive – bring on the flu symptoms tomorrow.
