I'm feeling much better!

To tell you the truth I wasn't all that hopeful about my appt. with the oncologist yesterday. I think I had just gotten to the point that I wasn't sure anything was going to help except time. I actually saw a different doctor than my usual one becuase he is on vacation. She was a really great woman who sensitively considered what I was going through and what I needed. She tried a different route of pain relief through what is actually used as an anti-anxiety or anti-nausea med and it helped. She also recommended Excedrin migraine pills and to drink a coca-cola for the next few days. Caffeine actually has quite a powerful affect on a headache I guess. So, almost 24 hours later and with those recommendations, I am feeling somewhat normal again. I'm out of bed and actually functioning productively. Oh my gosh it feels good!! She wants me to take it easy and stay in Anchorage for another couple of days just to make sure that the problems I was having do not persist. So, although I am ready to get home, I will take the advice and stay close. Anything to avoid having those issues again! And so the benefit is now that I get to actually enjoy a couple of days with Mike, especially since he endured me laying around like a zombie the past 6 days. Cheers to a couple good weeks and a better chemo #4. Only 5 more left. . .
