Monday after my first treatment

Well this is Monday 11/23/2009. This is the monday after my first chemo treatment!!  My hair has lost all of its texture so its just basically flat, I'm hungry every three hours or so and I don't mean for a little snack I mean for a meal!!!  When I get hungry is when I feel sick to my stomach, I have a yucky taste in my mouth, its not a metallic taste just yucky!!  I tire pretty easy and my body still aches somewhat.  I LOVE white rice and chicken wings from Chinawok in Milford and chocolate icecream cone dipped in cherry from Dairy Queen!! Tom has been juicing for me in the morning so I usually have scrapple egg and cheese sandwich with a glass of fresh juice so I'm getting protien...then for a snack I have a smoothie with yogart and fruit and a scoop of protien powder in it so I'm really trying to make sure I am eating a lot of protien!!!  I got Coq10 vitamins and ginger root tablets.  The Coq10 is to help keep my heart in good condition cause of the chemo and the ginger is to help settle my stomach when it gets a little yucky feeling!!!  I really started feeling better on Sunday night but up until then I really felt pretty crappy so each day is getting better and better!  Im gonna be thankful for the days when I feel good and just consider each day a blessing and receive the mercies of the Lord!!!  The one thing I hold on to with all my life is that I know what the Lord has shown me and He showed me that I have to do this and at the end there will be healing so I assure you that the only reason I will do this is because He has gone before me!!!  He is carrying me most of my days and I trust Him with my life!!!  I pray that each of you know my best friend Jesus....the One that I hold onto with each breathe I take during this time!!  I love you guys and pray that the Lord blesses you with the same mercies and grace He gives me everyday!!!
