Chemotherapy Again . . .

Yesterday's chemotherapy session was the second-last of this series, so I go again next week, then I get a one-week break from chemo. So far, no side effects. Last week's itch was definitely less intense than the week before. Dr. Cutie says this decrease in intensity is normal, so I'm hoping that after a few more treatments I may not get any itch at all.

However, I was feeling pretty rotten this morning. Not because of the chemotherapy, you understand, but because of the morphine. It slows your body systems down to a crawl, particularly your bowels, until your body gets used to it. I was in quite a bit of discomfort today with lots of gas pains. Funny, I never had gas pains before except when I was pregnant. These, however, are much more intense and nasty. I had a really good sleep this afternoon and am feeling much better this evening. I seem to have got my system back on track.

I am so glad you are enjoying the pictures of Bear and me that I posted. Here's another one.



Wish the weather was just a little bit nicer so I could go out and see him every couple of days, but it ain't, so I cain't.
