This is the last week of treatment. Two more after today and I was a bit shocked at how tired I was today. I know that we have just come back from a trip where I was out and about, but I did not really expect to be so tired today. After treatment I did…
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…

Sudbury has atrocious drivers. The weather is abysmal outside right now, but it seems that people forget the rules of the road when conditions are slippery. I do not really mind people driving cautiously but I think it is a bit ridiculous that people do not even try and stop at the lights and drive…
We went to the movies today because Olivier wanted to see Avatar with a friend. The movie is quite long at 3.5 hours so it was a bit of a challenge to make sure that I eat during the movie. This is the first time that Mel and myself actually got through a large popcorn…
I have now finished 19 days of treatment and I am at the end of week 4. Having that 1 day break on the Thursday has done wonders for fatigue as it seems to be much better and more manageable today. I think that the point of the weekends off is to help out with…
