Yesterday was a really rough day. I was very tired, low energy and the extra fluid made me feel bloated all day. They did pull some off with the Lasix but will be giving me more today. I just finished some time on the treadmill. What I wouldn't give for a day to feel normal again. I hope I have that when all of this is over. That is my biggest fear, that I will do all of this and it won't work or I'll still feel like crap. I decided this AM l like solid tumors better. The treatment and lack of treatment results seem much less bothersome.
So yesterday I finished the last of the 3 daunorubicin. Maybe the nausea and tiredness will improve some now.
My dad called this AM from Russia. It was good to hear his voice. And my mom comes today to stay and watch Quigley and take her back to Chas to keep. That will be great too.
Well tata for now-taf

About Me
- Moutain Doc
- Asheville/Hillsborough, NC
- I am a 45 yo Family Medicine doc just diagnosed with leukemia only two years after surviving breast cancer. I am an avid runner and enjoy the support of a great partner, my family, and many wonderful friends in both Asheville and the Triangle area of NC. Humor really is the best medicine, and I rely on the daily antics of my miniature dachshund, Quigley, to make me smile,

Teresa, I wish I could take some of your pain away. It's hard just watching and not being able to do anything. Holly must feel like she's in hell right now. Hang in there! I'm thinking of you.
Love,
Beth
Tree,
Hang in, girl. I can't even imagine what you're experiencing. I do know that this is a marathon and you're a runner. And there's a whole team rooting for you and Holly with whatever you need to keep you going and find some joy, peace, laughs or quiet.

Tree says to tell you that she really appreciates all your support. It means a lot. (She's waiting for Zofran, an antiemetic to kick in, otherwise, she would be more communicative).
Likewise, I hate the idea of you suffering...wish there was something that I could do. But, I'll take a moment of quiet(which you know is big for me) and send some good carma, prayer, and non-emetic vibes to your brainstem.
Hang in there, friend.

Tree - Remember what I told you about the turtle! You will WIN in the end. Hang in there and think positive thoughts. I love you! Becky
