Today was generally a better day. My back (shingles) hurt less as the day progressed.
I forgot one other possible factor from yesterday, that I repeated today. I laid on a cold pack. That does seem to help.
I also do an Epsom Salt soak each night. The research manager ordered some lavender Epsom Salt that is great. The really exciting thing is that a rubber ducky came with the salt. I have yet to try it out. This way, I have something really exciting to look forward to.
Whether it is due to not feeling like eating because of the shingles or some other factor, I have now lost 40 pounds.
The research manager is pressing me to eat foods that build my immune system. I know that I am not the best patient, but hopefully my blood tests on Tuesday will reflect improvement.
Until yesterday, I wondered if I would be able to deal with chemo this coming Tuesday. Now I am confident that I will be able to.
