Not holding my interest today

[wickedwords]

I'm afraid I fell out of LJ/DW for the past week, mentally psyching myself up for chemo and the side effects. I also had to deal with a song-and-dance regarding my thyroid (I had to get an ultrasound for it, so they could check about and see if they looked like normal nodules that could be dealt with later, or if they would have an impact on my chemo treatment, which in my head meant 'looks like cancer to us and now you're a possible stage 4'.)

Fortunately, I heard back from the onco nurse yesterday, and it's not going to have an impact. Yay! So I'm on the steroids today, and getting my first treatment tomorrow. Wish me luck, an easy treatment, and few side effects.

I very much wish you all those things.

Good luck! Here's to an easy time of it with a swift, easy recovery.

Sending you best wishes for an easy time and only manageable side effects.

When I had to be on high-ish doses of prednisone many years back, I was able to avert the usual water-weight gain and bloating by drinking "tea" made from caraway seeds every day. Caraway is a natural diurrhetic. Boil about a teaspoonful per cup of tea. You can sweeten to taste or use as a stock for soups. Good luck with everything!

Sending good vibes across the continent from the East Coast to the West.

Keep your energy for yourself and your family. We'll be there when you come back.

*hugs* Good luck. And yeah, few side effects. They have a lot of stuff they can give you now, that will mitigate the worst of the symptoms, too.
