Sorry to be such a Debbie downer but man the last couple of months have been rough. Not just for me but for people I know. I had a longtime friend diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease at 40. Had another longtime friend whose wife passed at 37. I felt like garbage through out the holidays. Life can be and will be difficult for everyone at some point. These two have been examples of strength to me during their times of trial. We all have our own way of fighting through this stuff and whatever can give us some joy is what helps the most.
I did my first treatment of the Y90 drug on Tuesday. Y90 is basically radiation that they inject into the tumors. They also try to cut the blood flow off to the tumors as well. I wasn’t expecting the recovery to be as bad as it has been. I haven’t really been able to get out of bed since Wednesday. I haven’t gotten nauseated with any of the other treatments but this time I did. I could barely eat anything. The doctor gave me some anti nausea medicine I really didn’t take because I hadn’t had a problem until now. Going forward I will try and stay in top of this. I am feeling a little better today. I have been able to eat a cup of noodles and a small sandwich. I don’t have a ton of energy but will get out of the house tomorrow to try and get it back.
You know I am a positive person and feel that attitude can help with problems you might be experiencing. I still feel that way but it doesn’t mean that it is always easy to stay positive.
