We love her so much, she has always been SO active even in her 80's. her mind is sharp, but she is so weak. Tomorrow her oncologist will start her on chemo, 5 days on, 28 off.
I am terrified. She is so weak now that one bout of vomiting could put her in the hospital.
Any positive thoughts, prayers, or healing wishes would be gratefully accepted.
Thank you all... Peacebird

(14,195 posts)was enough. It made her too ill, so she will not continue with it.
She is finally sleeping. Hours of diarrhea, with several bouts of vomiting, and the constant feeling of nausea were too much. She said this morning that she just did not feel well enough to continue with the second dose...
Thank you all for continuing to hold her in your thoughts and prayers!
