We were gone for 5 days and the last day was probably the hardest. I ended up vomiting last night and I am not sure, but I suspect it was because of what I had eaten. After my meal I had eaten a slice of jelly orange. I think the acidity did not sit well…
We have been gone for 4 days now and I remembered to take my nausea pills in the morning. Of course that would have been too easy if I did everything right. I need to make sure that I drink enough fluids and that is a very fine line. The issue with fluids is that…
We were out all day today and I made quite the mistake. I forgot to take any of my medication but it seemed to be ok. I felt some nausea throughout the day but I managed it seems. I did not sleep well last night and got up in the middle of the night and…
Today was a busy day as we went to the Sens game and then out for dinner at a steakhouse. We arrived back at our hotel at 8:30pm so we were out of the hotel for most of the day. It was a bit tricky eating throughout the day but I think that I managed…

For the last two weeks each morning there is a patient that has his appointments either before or after mine. As we both like to be early we have started chatting for the last week. He is in his second week of treatment and his wife also has stage 4 cancer and is currently undergoing…
