10/22 Noon Update

It seems the chemo is really getting to me again today. Most movement entails some pain and my energy level is pretty low. I’ve tried some Ibuprofen, but that only helps a little.

I’m wondering if some coffee would help.

Not sure if anyone told you, but there is a trick I learned years ago with my mother -- if the nausea gets ahead of the medications, use a pat of butter or margarine, crush the pill and put it in the center of the pat. Roll it up bullet style and put it in the freezer (I'd recommend using wax paper). You can use that as a suppository. Not the preferred method, but hey . . . whatever works!

Medicine has changed so much in the past 20 years or so, it's amazing what they can do!

Just know that we're thinking of you and sending our prayers and strength! We have faith that this will work!
