Ok a quick update on my treatment. I have had 2 chemo and 8 radiation treatments so far. I have lost 4 pounds since the 20th .
The first week got bad on day 5 (Friday) while I was up selling BBQ . I was hit with nausea and dizziness felt like I was going to pass out. I started the anti nausea med that night and was fine but tired Saturday doing the BBQ. Doing much better now that I scheduled when I take my meds. I learned their is no HE Manning through this.
Lost my ability to taste Monday after chemo and radiation. Everything taste like I am chewing paper or cardboard. It doesn't matter what it is it all taste the same. I can smell the flavors but once in my mouth its cardboard. The nurse says I will regain taste once the radiation is over. Even coffee taste like crap .
important to keep up the protein and fibre.
ReplyDeletecould you try a protein milkshake without upset?
little bits at a time.
cool apple sauce?
it is going to get worse before it gets better.
love and prayers.

Deletehang in there brother. we're praying for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you .All is needed
DeleteSounds like it's all going normal. I guess now you'll have to have someone else taste test the BBQ! :-)
ReplyDeleteYep that's what the doctor says. Around here I have plenty of BBQ taste testers.
Deletewell, gary, i think mike is volunteering for the tasting job. have him send you a resume!
DeleteI have seen his PIC seems he is no stranger to food. :)
DeleteYou're going through all that and still working? No wonder people from Alabama have a reputation for being tough.
ReplyDeleteI worked Friday cooking and selling BBQ but let my son sell what I had left Saturday. All true blooded southerners are tough. Its the libritards and Yankee transplants that are whiners.
DeleteI wanted to give you some encouragement and let you know I was thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteThis is from a guy that is on my Blogroll also and I want you to go read it and see that you are not alone and that that fooking cancer can and will be defeated.
