Forgive me for using this blog for a different reason today. I am trying to work through a problem and I thought, if I wrote about it, it might be helpful. So here goes.
This morning I had to go to the Clinic for blood work. No big deal. In and out in a few minutes. HOWEVER, this morning, as soon as I drove into the parking lot, I started feeling sick. My doctor and nurses had said that this could happen. Just the sights and smells of the location, even without the actual chemo, can make a person feel sick.
BUMMER!!!! I get so anxious about next week and treatment #9. My head knows that there are only four left and SURELY I can do that!! But my SELF is dreading it so much. I try to talk to myself and calm myself down, but I apparently don't want to listen to me. I have felt sick ever since I left there this morning. I usually can talk myself through anything, but this one has been stumped!
I have some medicine that the doctor gave me that I could take the night before so I can sleep. But I really hate to do that. Dana could tell you about the last time I took a Xanax [after minor tear duct surgery] and how badly I scared the kids. Apparently, me and drugs don't always get along.
Hopefully, by Tuesday, I will have worked through this craziness. It's not like I don't want to be through with the chemo. Only four more. SURELY I can do this!!!

I'm sorry about the nausea. What medicine did they give you? I always go to my future pharmacist hubby to ask questions. :) Hope you got some sleep and are feeling better! Love you!
Thoughts are with you!
