FRIDAY MORNING BLUES 24th OCT 08

Much as i am relieved that Tuesday was the last CHEMO that i may be going thru,insyaallah,but i can tell you the yo yo feelings this time is more down than up. Tough is the word.Sleep has been almost zero and food intake is minimal,juices and water is also difficult to swallow.The feverish feeling is constantly there and the body heat is strong like burning sensation on the skin.I can actually feel the medications moving thru my veins thru out my body and the worst feeling is the metallic taste in my taste buds.NOT BEING ABLE TO EAT,SLEEP AND DRINK IS MAKING MY BODY WEAKER but i am still tolerating because i made full use of the up time going into the 3rd week of the last CHEMO cycle.INSYAALAH.i will pull thru this time just like the last 3 chemos.Whatever it is i am glad i am getting nearer to end my treatment and get back to my normal self with prayers from family and friends.The journey is long and next will be a new roller coaster ride called RADIATION,after a pet scan on the 6th NOV 08.Pray God that scan results will be good and radiation will be localised to the operation site on my neck only,IN FACT TILL NOW THATS THE CONSENSUS PLAN BY MY TEAM OF DOCTORS,and the saying is if i can go thru CHEMO, radiation is a breeze, i hope and pray GOD what they saying is true.The journey to getting well again and hoping that the illness wont come back is all of us can pray for and hope.insyaallah GOD BLESS AMEEN.
