Chemo = tired and sick Deandra

[Brownie3321]

Hello everyone. I wanted to post a quick message to let you all know I am fine, I'm just dealing with the horrible side effects of IP chemo. I am so accustomed to answering questions and posting messages on medhelp every night, that I felt like I needed to let everyone know I am still trucking along. IP chemo is harsh, and it has taken everything out of me trying to stay awake for more than 2 hours at a time. Nevertheless, I am thinking about all you lovely friends and praying for you as well. Especially Becky (Tybear) - keep your head up, you have many people praying for you. I will be back and posting my normal routine in a few days when I can see straight and not take 3 hours to type one paragraph...CHEMO BRAIN!!! With love, Deandra

I believe this is your last one?  I pray mine go as well and quickly as yours.  I just had round 3 yesterday and will be on the couch today and tomorrow as well.  Hopefully you have kicked it out and will be on the upswing for years to come!

Wow, you all are amazing, truly. I can't say enough how much it helps to log onto medhelp and see all the well wishes and prayers. Just knowing that many women are experiencing the same as I is enough for me to keep pushing along. I am praying for each one of you as well - praying side effects will be minimal, praying for your families, praying for happiness for each of you and praying there is a cure on the horizon.
Thank you for all the messages of support, and I'll be back posting my usual by the end of the weekend. With love, Deandra

I am so sorry to hear you are not feeling well and are having to go through this.   I pray this weekend brings you renewed strength and rest.  You are missed on the board - thanks for letting us know how you are doing!!!

Keep up the fight. You are such an inspiration. Praying for you! Get plenty of rest, we all understand.

You hang in there and take as much time as you need to get back here posting.  In the meantime we'll all tag team to God with our prayers that He will help that nausea calm down and you will regain your strength.  Relax and sleep; it's your body's way of telling you that you need it.  Love  Judie:)

Just a little note to both of you, have you tried a cup of ginger tea along with your fluids,  this really helped Leslee with her nausea and we served this tea to our pregnant mothers for Morning sickness for years with good results. Drink it with a a couple of soda crakers.  Celestrial Seasons puts out a good ginger tea.  My heart goes out to both of you and certainly hope this phase passes quickly for you.   Love ya  Marty

Hey Deandra   Wow, you are a trooper! IP chemo...not so sure I could handle that. God bless you for doing it! I'm so sorry to hear you aren't feeling well...I think of you often too, and will say a prayer to the nausea fairy that she brings you some relief soon!!

[Helmar]

Hi Deandra.... that IP chemo is very harsh, as a friend of mine has had it too. Get plenty of rest... and drink lots of fluid (water). We look forward to seeing you here again when you feel up to it. Have a restful weekend....hugs...Helen...

[Kimchi]

You are such a trooper, even after chemo, you still check in with us.. I understand how you are feeling.,..I use to schedule my week (of chemo) so that I did not have to think of too much or do too much as I knew from the first time that my mind would be moving a snailpace...At least you have weekend to just do nothing and regain your strength!!
