Among the multitude of chemo and surgical symptoms yet to fade, early morning nausea Is one of my least favorites. For some inexplicable reason, radiation therapy seems to exaserbatte the nausea. Some days more than others.
Unfortunately, as the day dragged on the nausea became worse and gave way to vomitting, diarrhea, headache, chills, fever and extreme body aches.
Despite my feeble protests, my cousin spoke with my oncologist and they agreed I needed to head to the ER. So, here I sit, waiting for more test results. Out of an abundance of caution, I am in isolation until I can produce enough of a stool sample to be tested. Hopefully, the BM sample will rule out CDIFF then they can start tapering down the multitude of antibiotics and anti fungals Drugs I am currently on.
In the meantime, the doctors and nurses here at HOAG are amazing. They keep me comfortable with chamomile and mint tea, morphine, adivan and lots of sleep.
Huge thanks to Mom and Dad for minding the kiddos, and to Niño, Kirsten, Mom, Dad and Graham for running over clean cronies, flowers, and goodies.
Prayers and positive energy are much appreciated.
More to come...
Love,
Tiff
When going through treatments, my nina would have similar symptoms and it was sometimes related to her calcium levels & extreme dehydration. Praying for you, beautiful!
