Woke up at 4am with bad chills, stomach cramps and extreme dry mouth. I thought I had a bowel blockage and was getting ready to have Jerry take me to the hospital, where I really don't want to go so you know how bad I felt. But around 11am the "dam" broke! I was so happy, started to feel better right away, still tired but not in pain.
A dietitian called and left a message Friday so I'm going to call her Monday. This cannot keep happening, a cycle of not being able to eat because of stomach pain, diarrhea, then fine. I'm obviously doing something wrong. So Monday, dietitian, Tuesday, chemo, Wednesday, oncologist. So hopefully I'll get the hang of this thing soon. Oops, don't go to oncologist til 4/1,,,now I'm bummed.
MJ, do you have a Nurse or another contact assigned to you at the Oncologist office? I remember sharon had one she could call with questions, concerns or problems. they also told her she should not be in pain. With your symptoms, you should be able to get some support/assistance/ ideas from the oncologist. Sending hugs xo
ReplyDeleteI do Joanne but it always happens on the weekend and that's when the contact person is the hospital. I do not want to go the hospital cause I'm sure I'll catch everything there. I want this done so badly I'm afraid to do anything wrong, so I do nothing. I'm going to resolve this food and stomach thing and it will be uphill from here.
