I got an email today describing chemotherapy as being on a roller coaster.
The last few days have felt more like a submarine. Bowels and nausea reigned supreme.
But as we get to the end of the day, we may be on the way up again.
The research manager has exerted her influence over my food intake and also supplements.
This morning, I had eggs and we added a better brand of curcumin. For lunch, we added something called turkey tail mushroom tablets.
After sleeping for a good part of the afternoon, I mustered enough energy to go for a short walk.
The research manager come home from playing bridge with a laser focus on making sure that I was eating properly. She prepared a dish of salmon, crab cake and kale (plus?) salad for dinner. I was given a choice of eating it or being abandoned. Since I don't like rollercoasters, I was afraid of being abandoned half way up the hill and decided to eat the dinner. It was actually quite palatable.
After dinner, I was treated to a shot of wheatgrass (plus?) from the health food store. I even survived that.
All of this is meant to help get my vitals in line and beat back cancer. I sure hope it works quickly!!
