Aliens

Last night was horrid. I felt like Sigourney Weaver in Alien as she was giving birth to that monster! Terrible night with little rest. The worst night I have had since the start of this trip.

I emailed my Dr overnight and suggested a change in my medication based a study I had found and sent to him. The study had found that a combination of particular anti nausea drugs worked best in certain circumstances, like mine.

I had to take control. It was impossible.

Petra picked up the script for me
in the morning and the new drug combination has provided great relief. I feel washout and fatigued but my gut feels under control. I have spent the bulk of the day in bed resting. I will stay on this combination for the next 2 or 3 days while the cells in my stomach and gut regenerate post chemo and I can manage without them.

What would we do without the Internet, wifi and iPhones!

Anyway, I hope this feeling continues and I have made a small positive step forward.

I cannot see the back of this soon enough.
