TMI

So the GI issues are getting worse and are now consistent. I’m down for 2 days, hardly able to get off the couch and then some recovery time as I build my energy back up. 

Everything that goes in goes out in a really bad way!! But I keep putting stuff in trying to stay hydrated with some sort of nutrients in my body. I’ve experimented in many ways and it doesn’t seem to matter even if all I have is water and a very bland diet, it will exit badly.

My 2 current prescriptions are not making a dent and I am still against a reduction in my chemo. Luckily it is only 2 really bad days every 3 weeks. But those 2 days are so bad! I’ve started to understand some refuse treatment. Don’t ask me what I want to do on those days.

I spoke to my doctor who gave me a choice of a new med that I would have to inject 3 times each of those 2 days or an opioid which I rejected as I’m working. Wish me luck. My 2 bad days should start Friday which is when the new med arrives. 

I’ve also discovered that it doesn’t matter when I eat ice cream or cheesecake during my cycle…it will always end badly so this week I’ll be trying lactaid as life without ice cream is very sad.

I am not giving up on this line of treatment!! But I am determined to find a way to manage it better.
