– I received my chemo treatments for cycle 2 on May 26 – 28. For some reason at
the end of my last day of chemo, and a couple of days that follow, I get the
feeling of being bloated. This leads to a loss of appetite and feeling nauseous.
On May
29th I worked from home. Although I felt good throughout the day, I
was pretty exhausted at the end of the day and continued to feel bloated and
have a loss of appetite.
On
Saturday morning, May 30th I had to be back at the cancer center for
my Neulasta shot. After I received my shot my wife and I figured we were so
close to her sister’s house that we would pick up coffee and donuts and stop by
for a visit. Unfortunately this plan didn’t go so well. While we were standing
outside saying hello I felt weak and I passed out. Before I knew what was
happening an ambulance showed up and I was on my way back to the hospital.
After a few hours of receiving fluids and being checked out in the Emergency
Room I was released. It seems that this latest passing out episode was due to dehydration.
I need to do a better job at keeping my nourishment up. No matter how the chemo
makes me feel I need to drink plenty of water and make sure I keep up my
strength.
There is no doubt that I have a knack to keep things interesting.
But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be
thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of
water welling up to eternal life.”
John 4:14

So sorry for the bumps you are having. It's hard to eat and drink when we don't feel like it. Organic Valley protein drinks got me through the roughest times. High protein and they tasted good to me. Stay positive and keep up the fight! Prayers for you.
Hey Janet, Thanks for the eating tip. I think I will give the Organic Valley protein drinks a try. Rich
