thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
Chemo went well today. I'm a little tired I did not sleep well last night. So right now I'm going to have a nap for a bit.
God Bless you all at SC

Horndogg, I hope you are doing well! I just wanted to pass something on to you that I learned on Wednesday. I was invited to the Look Good, Feel Good, meeting that the Canadian Cancer Society puts on for those dealing with cancer. I have to say it's amazing. I encourage you to go to a meeting if you are able to find one in your area. However, I don't know if every location of the CCS has one or just ones located within cancer centres, but the location that is within the Juravinski Cancer Centre in Hamilton has a wig room. There they offer all cancer patients wigs, head bands, hats, etc. FREE of charge. So in case you lose any or all of your hair from treatment and want to wear a head covering, you can get free headpieces from the CCS.

When I went they were so extremely helpful While I haven't lost any hair yet, I'm having brain radiation and therefore I need to have my head and ears covered when outside in the sun, wind, cold and/or warm air. They have so far given me about 5 soft cloth hats and said to continue to get more as I need at any time. So if you need to look into it at all they are a great resource. I assume that there would be a CCS in every Cancer Centre.

thank you Tara just reading your section on your cancer has helped me so much. Hope you have a good week. I love you and Bod Bless you my friend

Good to hear that all went well, if you are tired rest as much as you need to, I used to be completely knocked out for about a day and sometimes more without even a sip of water, but then things get better

[Natalka]

Wishing you all the best on this journey... big hugs, too!

[TaraF]

Horndogg, I'm happy to hear things went well for you your first day out there. They say first impressions are everything, I wish mine had been better lol I hope you have a great week as well, keep trucking on!

[Horndogg]

Hi everyone time for to check in the first day chemo went well but boy was I sick after that. And all day Wednesday and most of today. I am just laying down and taking it easy. Boy I feel lazy. I still can't eat much and the toilet is still my best friend right now. The anti nausia pills don't seem to work much right now.
I hope you are ok Tara I'm thinking of you alot everyday. Love you.

I'm sorry to hear that you aren't feeling good after the chemo treatment. I hope that you rest up and eat/drink what you can. I'm comparatively "healthy" and am still going to go for an afternoon nap while our 2yr old is napping.

Oh, so sorry for your nausea, Hon....do you have any stuff to replace your fluids, like Gatorade for your electrolites, although I'm sure there's better stuff out there, or Ensure, Boost? Would they help you get your strength back?
Rest, Sweetheart.....you continue to be in my prayers...
