Right now I am on an oral chemo called Temador. It was originally formulated for brain tumors. Recently it was approved for use on LMS.
You have to take it on an empty stomach so I usually take it first thing in the morning. Well, a pharmacist called me and told me it makes you tired so I should try to take it right before bed. Eureka!! Maybe now I will be able to have a little more kick in my step each day! Excited to start that tonight!
Plus if the sun would break through I think I'd feel a little better. Don't know about you but I really think I suffer from SAD (seasonal affective disorder.) If it is dreary I just about cannot function. Guess it's time to up the Vitamin D!
And there are some sad things going on with some people I know. My heart aches for them so that doesn't help much. Then I haven't been eating well due to the stress.
So I think I figured myself out. Dreary, stress, chemo, poor nutrition = tired and want to lay in bed and sleep.
Time to pull myself up and get going!
One thing that has me excited is the redecorating of the house. I have found some good deals on Craigslist which makes me so proud. Rather than spending thousands, I'm spending hundreds and getting some really nice pieces. Also this whole purge and organize thing feels good. I really have so much less to do than I had. Weight slowly lifting from my shoulders!
I guess it takes a post on the blog to get me kicked in the bum. No one but yourself, Kelly!
Next week I meet with the radiologist oncologist. Dr. Nish will meet with me and we will plan my radio frequency ablation for the 18th of Feb. They will stick a needle into my liver and basically freeze or burn the tumor. I've had this done before and it was pretty easy to endure. I'm just happy they have the technology to get rid of those nasty cancer cells!! Prayers would be appreciated!! Thanks!
