Anxiety -> Nausea!

Then I laid there for about 3 hours. Which wasn’t bad at all. This time they are a lot shorter and not 4-6 hours.

I got in the car. Felt sleepy but for the first time in weeks my stomach was like “FEED MEH!” And I did. I ate a turkey sandwich. I knew I shouldn’t have finished it all. I knew it! It came back to bite me in the PM.

I was sooo uncomfortable, if it weren’t for the 5 day anti-puke pills and liquid that was given to me, my night would have been nasty.

Mornings I’m queasy, so I take a compazine before the dry heaves come and never stop.

I woke up this morning thinking that this is what my next 6 months will be like and it’s so sad that I have accepted it to be a lifestyle so soon.

:(

Week 1 = Over with
Week 2 = Next Wednesday
Week 3 = I the whole week off

Week 4 = Start all over again

Edit: You know what, I’m not fixing any errors. Just to keep it as it is. This is how jumpy my mind is. I feel like running 100 miles mentally but my body is like “Uhh…. wha?” Chemotherapy brain is worse this time. I have major ADD and stop mid sentence.

Edit 2: You know what else? I am up early because I feel like ick. But I wished for rain :) Only after my mom got to work though so she wouldn’t go wet. I have my windows open in my room and the smell of rain and wet grass is very nice. I think I’m going to head back up to bed. Somethings going right today.

Hi Gemma, I feel for you. I am sorry you are having to experience all this at such a young age. I remember how it felt…especially the 3 hour wait in the chemo room.
I found that good salty pretzels helped me quite a bit with the nausea. I don’t know if they will help you or not.
Take care of yourself and remember my love, thoughts and prayers are always with you.
Hugs,
Joyce

Hope your feeling better soon, and I heard that about the rain, we had a thunderstorm last night and I was lovin it!

Peace in inner space sister GEM!

Hi Gemma; Just saw your last post and thought I would add, where are you? We need you back to give us your progress. Your pictures are lovely. You are so wise for such a youth and it only tells me you have lived a lot of life in a short period of time. I hope you are pacing yourself and that God has touched his loving hand on yours, to help you through this tough time. Thanks for sharing and get better ok…Weezie
