I had a doctor's appointment today and they would like for me to recover a bit more before starting the stronger chemo again. So, the plan is to skip out the stronger one this round (the stronger one is known to cause diarrhea) and then go back to the stronger one the next 3 rounds when I regain my strength. They don't want me to have to go back into the hospital.
I'm doing much better after getting back from the hospital. I am able to digest my food and take in the nutrients. I really felt like when the diarrhea was the worst, the food would just go through me. Now, I can eat more and have much more energy!
I'm having a bit of a dry mouth and my taste buds have changed, so I'm trying different foods to see what taste good to me. I found out that I like food that are sweet or sour. I'm finding out that I like ketchup, oranges and soups right now. I can't taste salt very well, so breads are really bland and dry. To me, it's really amazing how much taste affects what I eat. Even though, breads don't taste bad but because it's bland, it's really hard to eat for me. I can't wait till my taste buds come back!!
A little set back with 4 more rounds to go but I see the end of the tunnel for Chemo! Please pray that I will regain my strength, so that I can finish out my Chemo. Thank you!!
