Tomorrow I start the next round. Before the last round, my oncologist gave me a free sample of an anti-nausea patch to wear. It helped at least somewhat mitigate the severe nausea. This time, he had no samples, so wrote me a prescription. The drug is not covered by insurance, so would cost me $5,000. So most likely we'll be making a few trips to the cancer center for I.V. relief, and I'll be gritting my teeth through the rest of the time.
Now is one of those times it's hard to maintain the beach attitude. In the last week, there's been a spate of bad news regarding people I deeply care about. During times like this, it is reassuring to know that we don't have to do it on our own, that we can draw strength from our faith in God. And so I pray for those who are grieving or scared right now.

Thinking of you Shelley and praying all goes better than norm al. I'm on Atra too at the moment and had a hell of a night last night. You're doing great! Or so we tell ourselves to get through it once and for all! :) hugs
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that.
ReplyDeleteBad morning for me. Called the cancer to go in for IV and was told the next opening is noon. Not exactly helpful for keeping pills down that I take at 8am.
