A Rough Few Days

It's been a week since my last chemo infusion. This time around I drastically cut back on my anti-nausea medicine. Why? Because getting sick and feeling nauseous no longer scares me. I took day one and day two of my Emend and haven't taken anything else. I felt some nausea but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. I spent my first pregnancy sick for 9 months - so a couple days of queeziness doesn't bother me. It was challenging though. Challenging, because I have things to do, places to be, a toddler to take care of and I'm 35 weeks pregnant. Being pregnant at this stage has to make daily life somewhat challenging. Right?

Wow I cannot believe you were nauseous for your entire first pregnancy. That must have been rough!

I am with you on not taking medication. I don't like taking medication unless it is absolutely necessary. I always try to let myself heal naturally or feel better naturally first.

I give you a lot of credit, Melissa. You have so much going on right now and so much you need to get done. I don't know how you hold it together. If I was in your place I probably would have fallen apart by now and mentally shut down. I do not handle stress well. I admire you so much!

Love Always,
