Round 4: Lisa 4 Chemo 0
I'm not going to lie to you. This round of chemo was rough. I felt so nauseous for so long. I was taking the strongest anti-sick prescriptions that the doctor prescribed to me and it was just working enough. Speaking made me feel ill, smells were horrible, moving was nauseating. On top of that, the pain in my muscles and joints was just bearable. I typically start to feel better sometime Thursday evening but I have also noticed that each treatment takes just a little longer to feel better. So here it is, Friday morning and I am still so weak. I still feel a some queasiness and my muscles in my chest and neck are still a bit achy. I can feel that I have turned the corner and I am on my way to feeling better but this treatment was tough. Then again, I am one tough chick...

Dear Lisa -
ReplyDeleteI just found out today about your battle with cancer. My heart aches for you and the fight you're enduring. Please know I am sending you a huge hug from afar (I live in Texas). My mom also relocated down here to be closer to me (my dad passed 11 yrs ago). We were shocked to hear the news about your health and began talking about some of our childhood memories... My mom said whenever she was baking, you always said, "it needs more chocolate!" I remember dancing in your front yard with our ghettoblasters making up gymnastic routines to our favourite 80s tunes, and then diving into your pool to cool off. You always made summer days more fun!
You are a strong tough chick and I have faith that you will conquer these cells attacking your body. God has a perfect plan for your life. You are strong and courageous and will not be dismayed! Much love to you dear sweet old friend! xo Yvette
PS - I am so happy you have Derek to support you through this (I remember him from Anderson and the athletic hockey crowd.) Congratulations on your sweet little boy... I have 3 boys.. ahhh!
