third chemo

Jul 05, 2006 147 Replies

My third chemo is today at 9:30am and it's 7:22am now. I hate days like today. Last night I cried when DH reminded me. I just want this to be a bad dream. I have met a few buddies at the chemo place/doctor's offfice who are there getting cocktails like me....hehehe!! I try to keep my sense of humor but it gets hard. I've rec'd so many nice cards and pins and gifts....gifts of fabrc from the group (Thank you) .This group has been a great support. The other day I had my son get out my ironing board and I pressed the fabric and I cut my squares. It was the first time in a long time using the rotary cutter. I couoldn't believe how weak this chemo is making me. My husband even commented on his old Pami was coming back. Hugs to all.... Pami


Chin up Pami! You are doing fantastic so far! Joke around with your cocktail buddies and do what enjoyable activities you can....we are all here for you!

Precious Pami, I'm certain that being our Hero is exhausting but we are all so very proud of you - and you're more than half way, didn't you say? I didn't understand the part about getting the ironing board out. Are you telling us that it is okay to put an ironing board away? Good gracious. What an idea. Polly

Hang in there Pami! We're all cheering you on! KJ

Hang in there Pami....... we're rootin' for ya! It will all be over before ya know it!

Oh Pami, I wish we could all take turns being with you and holding your hand while you are at the hospital! Please know we are there with you in spirit.=20

Blessings, my friend....

That's a great idea, Irene. How about we all join Pami for her fourth and last (I think I remember) chemo? How would you feel about walking into the room with hundreds of us, Pami? A huge cyber hand-hold? Let us know in advance and we can be ready. Some of us will have to stay up all night to do it >g< Just tell us the date and we'll remind one another!! .

Hang in there Pami. Prayers and hugs to you.

You are probably right now in the middle of treatment --

Sending lots of warm prayers and huggy thoughts to you....

Piggy Backing here with a suggestion of my own....

At the library, have the family get the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books on CD (esp those narrated by CJ Critt) and that way you can listen to the antics and giggle when you are feeling too weak to hold a book and focus to read. (unless of course, potty language bothers you)

Also, I gotta say, listening to Barbara Rosenblatt narrate Jen C.'s Elm Creek books is a delight too -- of a different sort.

Comedy is a good thing -- laughter is healing and the endorphins released act as natural pain killers (and to be honest, I find it hard to be really nauseous and laughing at the same time).

Best wishes to ya hun, keep your chin up.....

Pat > Pami:

I just finished the Evanovich #11 novel. She just doesn't write those fast enough. I had to buy the hardback books for the last two...I couldn't wait for the paperback ones. Who will Stepanie end up with? Ranger, or Joe? Or will someone else come into the picture at some point? KJ
