5th treatment

If you don't feel like eating that's OK (for a day or two), but you need to make yourself continue with the fluids.  They're important.  Someone suggested adding just a little bit of fruit juice to make water more palatable and that worked for me.  I liked about a quarter cup of grape juice to a cup of water best.

You're almost through with chemo, so hang in there.  It's good that even though you are feeling miserable now, you have the perspective to remember that you'll feel better in a few days.  That's just the way chemo is.  You have shown remarkable strength over the course of your treatment.  You'll get through this last phase.

Although mine was iron rather than magnesium, I found that a bite or two of baked potato helped combat the harshness of the pills.  Also, the potato sat a little better than some other foods....

Please hang in there... I know I know it is hard. I wnted to give up too. My son helped me see this will pass. Please keep your head up and remember you will get through this. Your stronger than you feel you are.

I just layed on the couch thinking that I did not want to live... but I did. It was just so unfair what this was doing to me.

I think you feel the same. But it will pass.

You will get through it and feel so much better soon.

I care about you and wish I could offer more that these words.

Please feel free to write me at junebuchholtz@hotmail.com if you want to talk.

We are all prayng for you and you WILL be ok!
