Everything still tastes disgusting and I still don’t feel too great. Thank you constipation and nausea. I haven’t left the house since Monday’s chemo session but will attempt to go to the support group. It’s funny how comfortable I’ve gotten in discussing how coffee will help my digestion and constipation or how when I sneeze hair falls off my head… with just about anyone who will listen. It’s like I’ve let go my inhibitions on certain topics or maybe I don’t care as much if I make other people uncomfortable?
At the support group last week, one lady said she didn’t want to tell anyone at all about her diagnosis while one of my favorite gals, M, said she “told anyone who had ears.” I was probably somewhere in the middle though closer to M. Might as well get it out there instead of hiding it right?
I also noticed that I’m getting more daring with the eating again. Like sushi (cooked stuff of course!) and sometimes seared stuff on my good weeks. Technically I only need to be careful when my white blood cell count is low, but it’s never been an issue yet.
While everyone was extremely happy for me about the chemo update, the bf seemed cautiously happy and wary. In fact, he felt that more than ever, we should be careful about me getting sick or in contact with germs so as to not derail the treatment schedule in any way. I guess I need someone like that looking out for me, but I hope this means he feels better overall about the severity of my condition.
