Charmaine had a difficult night up and down with severe nausea and diarrhea. Stefanie was with her.
This morning that has continued. She is very weak and tired. The adivan and nausea meds make sleep most of the time. The very slightest movement makes her sick.
During this time she obviously can not eat. It is also hard for her to take oral meds because she will throw most of them back up.
Hopefully the worst is passed on this round.
It hurts my heart to see her be so very sick. It's a helpless feeling.
I'll update post later today.
5:15 Update.............
Doing much better gradually. Is starting to snack on crackers and drink gatorade and is more alert.Maybe the worst is over for this round.
The chemo that she just finished is called Methotrexate. It seems to have the worst effect of all of them. The one she starts now is Cytarabine. On this one she has to put special drops in her eyes to prevent the collection of crystals on her eyes. Also, she cannot wear contacts during this one.
Chemo treatments end in the morning except for the spinal tap at 8am on Sunday. Then home for few days.
We completely loose all sense of time here. It's hard for me sometimes to even remember what day it is.
Thanks for caring about her enough to read this every day,
Sam
