I am feeling really good as I get ready for my 2nd chemo treatment. Charlotte is finally better, as well. Last week, after running a high fever for a couple days, we made a trip to the pediatrician's office. One good thing about my current situation, I get called back right away and do not have to sit in the waiting room with the germs. They also provided me with lots of face masks in case I need them at home or when I go in public. Since C had a viral infection, I was worried all week I was going to come down with something, but so far so good. My baby girl is finally happy again, and last night she finally got a good night's sleep.
This week, I am trying to carb up and eat lots of yummy foods. After the last Chemo treatment, I went two days unable to eat. My appetite eventually came back, but not as quickly as I would have liked. I am trying to gain a few extra pounds as my weight teeters at what I consider an unhealthy level. My oncologist was not concerned about my weight, since the steroids I am given at each treatment should help me gain and not loose. I am sure at the end of my 5-month chemo regimen, the steroids will have done a good job, and I will be writing about losing weight. We shall see.
