Coping

March 24 - I had the injection of Neulasta on Friday.  Side effects are sore muscles and bones.  I have had very little of this and am taking ibuprofen to counteract it.  I have nausea at times but if I eat every 2 hours, it doesn't seem as bad.  I find myself taking cat naps throughout the day.  I guess that is my body telling me to do so.

The port site is healing nicely - although there is still some soreness.  The bruising from all the biopsies and iv's are starting to fade.

It's been nice having Dane back home again.  He has done the shopping and vacuuming as well as cooking for me (although I did do some of that myself this weekend).  Food seems to be losing some of its taste.  So far, no mouth sores - using a salt and baking soda rinse that was suggested by the chemo nurses.

So I am coping with this all just fine for now.  Again, thanks for all the cards, calls and emails.
