First sick day..

Dear friends,
Without your prayers, yesterday might have been worse! What a day, full of nausea and tiredness. I couldn't do a thing and had to try not to think of different smells to provoke the sickness. I seemed to have a little break in the afternoon, but it came back again. It took me back to the days of being pregnant - so over-sensitive with different smells. I remember not even being able to stand in front of a building because the cement smell made me reach... I am still sweating a bit as I type. I don't know what type of pill they gave you Lin B which helped you so much, but the ones I had were far from efficient.



I'm still going to share a card though, not one made too recently. I couldn't make a card today if I tried :)
I used HA stamps for the two panels left and right, and the strip along the bottom is a scrap.

Slowly picking up on strength for a new day - please keep me in your prayers!

    Hello Jacqueline - so sorry to hear that the chemo is making you so sick. You are in my thoughts. For most, it gets less debilitating with each successive round (my mom had very little sickness her last few sessions), so hopefully the worst is over. Thank you for sharing your beautiful card with us (in the middle of everything). God bless and take care.

    Hello sweet angel.. I sure hope today is much better!!!! One of the things that helps me.. is to imagine breathing in pink (fresh, clean, healthy) air... and breathing out the grey (old, toxic, not healthy) air....

    Prayers and hugs and warm embraces are being sent your way.... and sunshine....

    Oh, Jacqueline. . .my heart goes out to you. So sorry to hear this. I know when my mom went through her chemo, she felt nauseous for awhile too and they kept trying different pills. She finally was given one that helped a lot. Everybody reacts differently to different medications, so have the doctors keep trying new ones until you find one that works. You're in my prayers, always. Hang in there, sweet friend. Sending lots of love to you today. . .

    Now is the time to start asking for a different drug Jacqueline if theses pills do not work the first time then they won't work the second time. There are so many different anti-nausea drugs there must be one that will work for you. The loss of motivation and tiredness is something you may have to put up with and just rest as much as you can, it is harder to deal with things when you are feeling so lousy. Talk to your doctors. You may have to accept that for now you will not be able to do very much. My thoughts are with you of course,this treatment unfortunately is harsh, but it is for a short time and there will be an end time. Keep up those positive thoughts even though it is difficult Jacqueline, you will get through this, YOU WILL keep saying this my friend.
    Smiles:)

    I do hope you're feeling a little better now and the sickness feeling is fading. Take care of yourself, and don't be shy to ask your doctors if you can try some other medication. It could really help you.
    Thinking of you, hugs, Ruth S
