Hi All,

I did my # 2 AC treatment on friday and it kicked me in the butt. I was SO tired I took a nap in the am and in the pm and went to bed at 8:30. Finally last night I stayed up til 10 and only took a nap in the am. I hope I am on the upswing now. The onc said the fatique would get worse this time and I did not pay too much attention.  DId any of you get this tired??    On the consipation issue. I feel like I need some help but the sensokot-s they told me to use was overI kill last time. I need to go buy something but not sure what???   My computer is acting up so I will talk later. Have a great day everybody:) 

Hi Carolyn,

I am trying to get 64 oz of fluid in every day but I can not drink water it tastes terrible to me even with lemon , I am drinking herbal teas. I did have trrouble withmy sinuises also but making sure I get the fliuds in has helped. The nurse at the onc office said to make sure that the teas have no caffiene and if that did not help to use the netting pot i got one but ahve not had to use it yet, I just continue to sound like rachael ray, sometimes it is worse, at least it does not hurt, just some time hard  to talk. I hope It is a sign of the avastin, thanks,

Everybody have a great SE free day, Deb:)

Hi All,

MY #2tx AC/? Avastin went well yesterday. I was getting anxious but I guess that is to be expected

 DH and I went to Macy's after and shopped for stainless pots and pans.(It was supposed to be a big sale but you had to use their card and dh hates that gimick) AN early christmas present .I did find a set for not too much.  My old tfal set was really scratched and I had read that was a possible cancer causing agent, having them scratched.

Have any of you changed any thing in your lifestlye yet to keep this from never happening again with God's good grace. I know all of our lives have been turned upside down with sx,chemo, procedures, hair los. It is hard to try to make possitve changes when we are just trying to get through the day. I am finding just trying to get the fluids in me they want is a challenge, let alone to cook and eat right. I am trying to walk around the house some to get 20 -30 minutes and some arm exercises.  Any helpful hints that you all are able to due would be welcomed.

 P.S. The onc did put me on new med to try on day 4 to see if I can read or knit or post on the computer ( I have been quite nauseuous when I do any thing)  have any of you tried anitvert?

Have a great blessed SE day, Deb:)

Hi All.

I am on day five of my first chemo AC with ? avastin. I do not know how any of you work. I felt fine sat but I guess it was from the steriod they gave me in hte iv the sunday I crashed could hardly keep my eyes ope. I did drive 1 1/2 for neulasta shot and to see bs  and do a wig fitting on manday but then went to bed at 8:30. I guess with my job being it is 10 hours and on my feet all dayI am really thankflu for short term disablitily  :)  I have been having to take to compazine every 6 hrs and only 1 -2 ativan a day to keep the nausea away, I did take the emand for the 3 day s like they said. I just hope I get some strenght back today or tomorrow. Knitting is even puttintg me to sleep and tv drives me nuts. Sorry for whining I just am going alot stir crazy!!!!!!   I think it is time for a shower.  Hope you all are a having a se day or very few  se any way.  Bless you all.   Deb :)

Annie,

So glad you had I good time with your son. My husband I and were talking about that when we were driving home from treatment. My dd is 17 and she went to a high school football play off game she is my youngest and though very trying after work it was fun taking her trick or treating. 

I am trying to find a very inexpensive wig or free from the ACS.Money is very tight right now.  My husband has his own business and this is his very slow time of year and I am waiting for my diability check. We always have a hard til jan.  The Social worker at the chemo site said they might have some $ for a wig for me if I can find one at the place they deal with.  WOO HOO  Pray it works out.  Thanks for you thoughts. and I did take a plactic cup with me just in case I had to pee but, just when I needed to there was a McDonalds.  I am feeling pretty good today so I must have drank enough water. I am trying to continue to drink alot today too. 

Good night to all and SE dreams to all:)

Bessing to you all, Deb :)

GOOD MORNING

I did have a smooth but long almost 12hours with drive time, day lots of info from the nurse the social worker. They were all really nice. I think my dh had a worst day watching it all happen to me.After I got settled in and after the A in went in with out problems.  He got me setup on the lap top and I had my ipod and a goodbook to read, I told him to go to Cabelas It is only 15 -20 mins away and  iWAS going to be another 3-4 hours I think that helped him some. He is a sweetheart and will be ther with me if I want but the pain on his face is almost more than I can bear. I hoped that helped him. He is a really quiet guy. :):) I love him so much.

I  I took emend 1 hour before and they gave aloxi & dex in the iv.  I just did not feeling hungry when I know I shloud. I drank lots of water,the ride home I felt ok if I kept my eyes closed.

I will write more when the ativan I took for sleep wers of as i think it is really effecting my typing,sorry  BLESSING TO YOU ALL FOR SE FREE DAYS,  Deb :)
