A Slightly Longer Tunnel

Hello again, dear Readers,

It's been a while, eh?  I know, it's this damned anemia/prednisone weaning that are just knockin' me OUT every day making posting a little more than I can handle most of the time.  Happy to report that I've been prescribed Iron+C which I hope will help with this ever-falling hemoglobin count.

Subject change:

On Monday during chemo I was sharing with my roomy how happy I was to have had not ONE migraine since before being hospitalized, then last night at 5am I was rudely awakened by just that, a driving spike in the side of my head followed by over the next 10 hours or so, 6 violent rounds of head-pop-off vomiting that left me a sweaty, panting quivering mass each time.  Still nauseous this afternoon and dammit, got sick again today, can't even keep water down.  : /

I thought those days were over but nay.  The meds I usually to take for migraines, (Maltax, a serotonin agonist.), didn't work so good this time, even after two doses and I hope that this is not going to be any kind of regular thing again as it just wracks me to the bone and now that I have to take so many meds at so many different times, the vomiting makes that very problematic.

Aaaaanywho, today is a new day and with it, (after a huuuuuuge nap), I'm sharing the latest news from chemo land that is:  due to recent disease activity, this was not the final chemo session.  I will need at least one more, to quote the doc.

Whoa.

Hey hun! I have been under the weather myself, hence the lack of updating mine, or viewing your blog. I am sorry to hear about this news, but us MPA warriors know we have to do what we have to do. I am going to stop a minute and tell your beans to cooperate. Be nice ole beans! My problem has been my lungs. The MPA is attacking them full force. If you can come up with a good nickname for lungs I would love to hear them...maybe the ole airbags lol. Keep in touch. I am sending so many good vibes your way. You matter a lot to me J! Hugs!
