We're 4/6th of the way through chemo and radiation and the treatment is starting to catch up. The hair is starting to fall out and nausea is setting in, but enough about me this is about Jill. She's still riding the bike trainer every day, going on short runs in Flagstaff and maintaining her positive attitude.
The chemo therapy and radiation treatment are starting to take their toll. She's now losing her hair and is having to take more than one anti-nausea pill per day. Her energy level is still good, and appetite is OK.
It continues to amaze me that the chemo therapy is a pill from and that patients are trusted with a months supply just sitting there in a cabinet or on the counter. I always thought that chemo was something that needed to be strictly administered by a doctor, but it's now no different than Viagra. Radiation on the other hand, is a whole different beast which will be covered next week. Stay Tuned Jill Fans!
you both are beautiful
ReplyDeleteI went thru the loss of hair from Chemo myself and I must say it was one of the most freeing experiences I have ever had.
ReplyDeleteRob, I had a fabulous visit with your Mom yesterday - I am a malignant brain tumor survivor, and I know her from HPUMC. She sent me your site, and I think it is fabulous! You and Jill are very positive and tough - I love your spirit. Keep it up and know that you are always in my prayers. Love, Christi
ReplyDeleteWe love your positive attitudes. Thanks for sharing. You remain in our prayers. Truly, Linda and Dixon
