FoxNews.com Blog: Pick Your Poison

I have knocked down two of the four chemotherapy treatments I need to complete in the month of May. Today will be chemo #3, and after next week (chemo #4), we will scan my liver and see where we stand.

I have not been as affected by side effects as I was with the first 12-week chemotherapy cycle, but it has not been a walk in the park, either. The neuropathy in my fingertips and toes is still painful, a numbing kind of pain. Last night, I needed a morphine pill for the pain raging up and down my legs. That drug is too strong for me, I woke up with a pounding headache and threw up. It was as if I had a bowling ball dropped on my head, I went back to bed for four hours. I will try my best to avoid taking morphine again, but it’s tough when you are dealing with chronic pain.

Happy Thursday, everyone! I’m back on chemo and want to share with you what it’s like – helpful, but definitely not fun!
