Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this tough hour. Hold onto the memories of your dad and you will get through it.

Have spent the past 2 days working on the obit and eulogy. Having 7 sibs is a blessing and a curse when it comes to those things. Lots of input and - lots of input. (-:
Funeral is Wed.


I have only had one treatment so far. That one treatment almost killed me. I slept the first couple of days then felt a little better but it didn't last. I started sleeping again and just couldn't stay awake. I had thrush (a side effect of chemo) that was so bad it was in my throat. I then started running a low fever and ended up in the ER the Sunday after the treatment.
I had a lot of blood drawn, a chest xray, and a bag of fluids. The only thing the doctor could find was thrush so I was sent home. That following Tuesday a nurse from the hospital called to tell me I had bacteria growing in my blood. I went to see my primary doctor and she told me this was sepsis and put me on an antibiotic.
The oncologist would not give chemo because all my bloodwork was too low and I had this nasty infection. I was supposed to have chemo again today. I went for the treatment but I have been sick since Monday evening so I had to go to the hospital for more bloodwork and another chest xray. The doctor is checking for sepsis again since I've been having the same symptoms this week.
It has been an awful few weeks. I just hope they can figure out what is making me so sick. I'm determined not to spend the rest of my life sleeping and sick.

My condolences to you and Chris and your family.

Daisy - I am late in replying but still have thought of you. You are having such a difficult and trying time. Please stay strong and I hope you will have some positive moments even if only for a few moments. Take care and know we are all hoping the best for you.

Hi Daisy, I read about this post of yours, and it's a pity how a random set of events, e.g a set of cells in your body who just want to evolve in a malignant way, can determine a person's health in such a drastic way.
MY thoughts are with you. I have my health but I also have problems, although not as serious as yours. Prayers are a noble, pure, and supernatural weapon to combat defeatism. I hope you stay as close to the person you were, as it's humanly possible.
The gentleness and self-assessment of your post says it all. You are a far better human being than I am, because you are brave, kind, and generous with your time. Plus you know, you prefer books over a lot of pleasures in life.
I will think of you, and send you messages of encouragement, because though I'm not you friend, I'm a fellow sufferer, and I may be in discomfiture at any time soon. A few seconds of inattention, and a truck may hit me. I could also succumb to salmonella which is prevalent in my country at this time. But I will think of you and say that life is precious, and worth fighting for. Take back your health inch by inch, that's my prayer for you.

Big hugs, Daisy. You're a strong and brave lady and deserve things to go right for you. Lots of positive vibes your way.


I had the second chemo treatment today. I'm feeling good so far. I only took a three hour nap today. I just pray I keep feeling this well. I can deal with a three hour nap over sleeping 18 out of 24 hours.
