I am going on Day 5 with no nausea so far during this round, this is a very good thing. The lack of sleep & entense night sweat episodes are the main side effects I am having. If I had to guess I think one is causing the other. It can always be worse. My Dr. said the shot I am on is a much stronger central inhibitor, it brings on all the effects of menopause with it. She is considering some additional meds to see if they will help reduce the side effects, possibly even so herbals, I will have to wait to see what she comes back with.
Today my room was so hot I thought I was going to pass out. The nurse came in & said the temperature was 88. They were finally able to get maintenance up her to fix it after 2 days of requeting them. It is much more tolerable now.
My Dr. is bumping my Chemo up to 8pm tonight so I can try to get out of here a little earlier tomorrow. So they are going to start me back on the IV fluids around 6pm. I was so swollen with the fluids they flooded me with when I came in, that I had an extra 15 pounds water weight. They wantede to put me back on Lasix but I was not having that after my last experiance with Lasix. So it has been a slow process coming off. Needless to say I am not looking forward to being hooked up again though.
Marc is going to come up again tonight to see me & maybe even bring some of of the kids, this would really make me happy, I miss them all so much.

Hi Sandi,
They must have been trying to sweat those extra pouds off you...lol Glad they were able to FINALLY get to your room. Good thing they loaded you up with fluids you may have dehydrated without it!! I'm glad to hear you'll be getting out of there & back to your family tomorrow as well as getting a visit from them this evening. I'm sure they all miss you as much as you miss them. I know I miss you all and wish so much that I could get there somehow, but I don't see that happening. Well, enjoy your visit this evening & tell everyone I said hello & I love you all.

Hey Babycakes,
I'm happy to hear ya are doing good. The sweats and hotflashes are horrible, I remember when Robbie did it. The Christmas Tree looks great. The kids were really enjoying themselves by what I could tell in the pictures. Robbie was so hyped that he got to talk to ya the other day. He said ya sounded in good spirits. Hope the visit with Marc & the kids went good tonight. Stay strong!! Sending ya lots of Luv, Hugs, and Smooches!
Luv Ya Sis! Pixie & Oatmeal
