This morning i woke up feeling great, and super nervous to go back for Chemo and to repeat the awful days that would follow. Surprisingly i still feel good and hopefully will stay through the week. I had blood work today and everything declined to the bad numbers, which means i am very susceptible to infections and getting sick. They should return to a higher level with time. I lost 7 pounds since i started treatment and my nurse practitioner will only let me loose 2 more pounds and then i will have to have a feeding tube. Needless to say i am trying so hard to eat, but the mouth soars make it very painful and more of a chore then i would like. After my Dad did an amazing job at shoving food in my face, it helps when someone reminds you that its not eat or feeding tube. Its not like have loss of appetite although most foods for some reason taste like metal. I love food and can't wait to devour all my favorites with out such pain. Tim will come to the house in Kent to night to visit, i do miss him and can't wait to see him!!
