Today's chemo was not the best. The cold is just adding to my yuck feeling. I've fully learned which meds will do what.
Dex. My steroid. Messes with my blood sugar. As do the pre meds 2 of them mix with dextrose. More sugar.
Oxaliplatin: This one gives me the pain in my hands, feet, and mouth. Cold sensitivity. This has gotten worse with each cycle.
Irinotecan: gives me twitching body parts. The eyes are the most annoying. This gives me cramps. They give me atropine for this. And of course diarrhea comes with the territory.

I'm basically on this :
FOLFIRI (Leucovorin, 5-Fluorouracil, Irinotecan)


What is FOLFIRINOX (FOLFOXIRI)?

FOLFIRINOX (FOLFOXIRI) is a combination treatment used to treat pancreatic cancer and bowel cancer.

This all sounds terrible. But, you are halfway there and handling it like a Champ! ❀️

I know the side effects play havoc with you but like @hotwords229_A says, you're handling it fantastic. You're so strong and coping so well. You've got everyone here behind you, as well as all your family and friends. ❀️
 
Heyy just leaving some Sunday love for Sassy…. Almost half way, that’s awesome. You’re awesome! πŸ’œβ€οΈ

P.S. sorry the last round sucked. I hope this week’s will be much better.
 
My cold has really been kicking my butt. Because I'm not running a fever they are not too concerned. I have been doing a lot of resting trying to get rid of this. But it is now hanging on for a month. I finally said screw it and started taking some of my usual supplements even though they don't really want me to. I miss my vitamin C and my zinc.
My brother managed to get some amazing tickets for the Kraken game last night. We were five rows back from the ice. I couldn't pass that up but I was definitely miserable. Today I'm back to hiding away in my bedroom and getting lots of sleep. It's been awhile since I've been this sick. But the chemo is still going on. They said that my cold has not affected my white blood cells enough that they're going to stop it.
They are still really impressed with how well I'm handling everything.


The lovely @LadyLascivious1 sent me a care package Which included some lovely hand warming goodies, socks , and penis tire valve stem covers. 🀣 ❀️❀️❀️
 
You are handling everything like a champ! Lingering colds suck especially when you’re already feeling crappy. I’m dealing with the tail end of a cold while still in pain from my stupid ovaries 🫀

On the plus side, I laughed when pulling up this picture of testing out the light switch/tire valve covers πŸ˜‚

Did your family love them? 🀣
 
There are a handful of people that I feel like I could have around right now. He is one because he's been here several times now and fits in with the family so well that I never feel like I have to entertain him. I know he has talked about it a little bit. But he deals with Chronic pain every single day. When he gets to come out here there are just days where he is in too much pain to do anything and since our family understands this so well. He never feels like a burden or that he's keeping us from doing anything. It worked out even better this time. Between him and I. There was much less activity this time. I understand his pain, and he understands my days of ick. We just take everything day by day and plan the outings as we feel okay.
It has been super nice to have company around though. On those days where I don't feel like doing anything. He's just across the couch dealing with his own issues.

Many others. I'd feel like I'd have to entertain though. I'd want to be playing tour guide.
There is something very special about people you can be your complete unguarded self with even when feeling like crap and not feel an ounce of guilt or even think about it. I’m glad you have people like that is your life. I’ve found it to be very rare.

I met one of my best friend’s through a random room assignment in college. The fact that we easily lived together and became so close through all those years of immense change means she’s one of those rare people to me. When she had her first baby and we were planning my trip about a week after she delivered, I was a little concerned that it might crowd her and her husband’s special space. I remember her laughing and saying me being there might save her husband’s life and would also help her mom and her MIL keep a respectable distance πŸ˜‚

But those two weeks (for each of her following children too) sound similar to what you described. I don’t know if we ever got out of pajamas. On fancy days we showered and maybe went to Walmart. There were no big plans (unless you count middle of the night walks with vampire babies) or even thinking about cranky, sleep deprived moods or family squabbles. The company and feeling supported were the important parts.

I honestly feel lucky when I go. I don't have to worry about entertaining them either. If I'm having a bad day with my pain etc, I can just relax and not have to worry about anything... Well, except Sassy taking pictures of me when I'm not expecting it! She's ruthless like that.

That’s awesome on every level 😍

I just laughed because I remembered girly sleep overs. Wonky is about as close to one of those. I'd say without the face masks and bra freezing. But. My daughter in law did make him put on a face mask one year! :ROFLMAO: He put his foot down this year.

I don't want to Jinx myself. But today might be the day I can get out of my house and go to the store. I still have a nasty cough, but I am feeling a little more human. I really need some groceries and I hate sending others when all I want to do is look around :p

I DID NOT have a face mask put on. Nope. Never. That's a pack of lies. Er... I'll see you in court! Um... It's... *Shuffles off*
